I agree with earlier post on the powers of board in CONDO association.

assume ~$1.5-2M borrowing power, $400k liquidated assets as a scenario for the above comparison?? 

By having options (rather than only going to 1 bank) you get more negotiating power in the process.

A powerful way to approach anyone is the indirect approach: “Do you know of anyone who might be looking to hire or that is seeking an intern?”

I would say the brick looks different because of the power washing,  color cast light from the time of day, and color corrections from my professional photographer taking the final pics vs. the realtor shooting it with their phone

While I believe in the long-term power of rental-property investing, being the lender comes without the headaches of tenants and toilets.

And then you've got the clause about how I'm not responsible if the TV goes out or if your power gets shut off (as tenants pay for their own power at my units).Really, though, if you have a drive to take on the responsibilities of a landlord, that drive should propel you to be the best landlord that you can.

We've easily done 30+ transactions using this powerful strategy.

I would be more embarrassed by not using my money wisely for example by leaving all of it in an FDIC insured account that you know will not keep up with inflation (It is OK to have some money invested conservatively but you should also have money working for you and FDIC insured accounts loose buying power due to inflation).Good luck
