I've partnered up with another guy and have done a pseudo dry run on a property that we wanted to look at on a golf course.

You can always counter with whatever terms you like in an effort to swing the momentum back in your favor.

So they want to send me into combat (i.e. 2018 post Dodd Frank Act mortgage market) riding donkey, swinging a butter knife!  

@Stephen Chittenden  I call this home my "education" and it's been worth it, but I don't know I could swing it at the price you are paying! 

I typically find them months later and well when I do I take it as a sign that it's time to at golf. 

"sipping drinks on the beach" as it seems every person thinks everyone wants ;)  Maybe you want to be active and self-employed, managing units yourself or swinging the hammer on some flips for fun.What is your end point?

Since the college football season is in full swing and University of Georgia has been doing well, we rented two big home games with South Carolina and Alabama for $2k and $3k respectively.

Leveraging is a great tool and will increase your ROI but remember the pendulum can swing the other way and increase your losses as well.     

I like the notion of owner financing (if paid for and Wayne's Dodd Frank comment) and I have had some success owner financing a condo before, and it gets an owner occupant in there to help ratio and gets title out of your name; also, you could (again more likely if paid for) explore donating four units to a nonprofit somehow and getting a tax break, perhaps one involved with affordable housing or an agency that may need to house workers; finally, a long shot, but the swing for the fences stretch would be to just buy 24 more and convert them back to apartments or renovate/redevelop the place as more successful condos--study that one alot first, though (a long shot, but owning 11 is pretty extreme already, almost 1/3 there now!)...

They are appraised at $300k (total) which have a 65% LTV(appraised) 30year fixed mortgage on.In the new year, we will have around $300k (cash in hand) to invest and we feel we have 2 choices,1) continue to buy duplex/4plex cash deals (finding this very slow and possibly more expensive due to more mortgages of lower values)2) obtain acquisition finance and "swing of the fences" (on our t-ball field) and look at a $500-$1mil price range Multi-fam which meets our parameters.My wife, who helps us with the property management, has been in MF property management for 15 years with her last property being 910 units and her current property being a 525 unit lease up so in terms of management, we do feel they we had a firm handle (with track record) on the PM.
