If you only have $25k to your name, and you have investors that understand the impact potentially losing that $25k would mean to you, they very well could say $25k is enough.As for encumbering a property you are syndicating with a second mortgage for your capital, no.

Im looking at properties to buy, and saw a tenant in a 4-unit property I like paid $1,000 in late fees.    

What are odd of obtaining property doing this?

Multifamily properties are tough to sell in Los Angeles.

Whether you're looking into fix and flips, rental properties, or new construction, access to the right resources can make a big difference.

Process of selling primary residence, but instead of investing in another property, we are looking at purchase a small business instead.

My brother and I, both out-of-state investors, recently acquired a long-term rental property in the Boerne area (near Leon Springs).

My view is these type of properties are not for new investors.  

Just curious what would happen if the the tenant decides to stop making those payments and leaves the property damaged.

Are you properties there?
