I post about it in the marketplace but we build for investors with 20% equity so they can refinance out upon seasoning. would be happy to chat further!

Or is a home equity line of credit still the popular method?

i still will have 60k equity in the home, I'm paying myself 401k back to myself at 9% interest rate.. so I'm adding to my 401k.. and I'm making 4.60 interest from the money in my saving accounts that Ill be using to pay back the 401k loan.. 

Pete area that tend to be more positive as far as multi-family properties?

Some owner/aggregators tried to throw more tech at the process; some owner/operators didn’t care because they were building machines to only eat equity.

The only challenge I see with your request with that we have to offer is that you're looking for a hybrid equity/debt partner (like mezzanine financing) where lenders like us only provide debt financing.

Should I go with 7300 sq ft and try to get as many tenants as possible or stay within my comfortable financial position.2.

Well, we were able to gain great equity value in an area that we knew was up and coming.

If so, this is just a real estate loan, and it would typically be recorded in second position behind the first position purchase money, if allowed by that lender.

Between appreciation and our payments we have 50K-75k in equity.
