So, when building or buying that could mean bringing considerably more money to put down.

How can I structure the deal without any money from my pocket.   

Your Money is in Tampa if you live there for two years and then SEll before the CRASH.

They just talk and deflect and kick the can down the road with "we will for sure take care of this for you, I am here to help" before ultimately saying "there is nothing we can do about this".The funniest part of the VRBO support is the online chat, where they intentionally try to get you to time out of the chat. 

Private money is a proven way to capitalize portfolio growth but creates another business to administer.

I'm finding that a lot of real estate agencies also own rental properties/invest their own money.

Who wants to tie up a bunch of their money and do physical labor in your down time to maybe get some of that money back.....robinhood let's them buy high and sell low TODAY.

Having this in place already saved my investor money but more importantly time and made it possible to start construction right away.

Not sure if you can extend the contract at all and try to get a cashout or a hard money loan on one of your investment properties you currently own?

At the end of the day, if I need to wait for seasoning, it won't be the end of the world, but it would be nice to not have to stick in a hard money loan for 3 months+!
