I'm unsure of what your specific strategy is when buying your homes, but Alex on 301 purchases his property in cash, rehabs, and is able to pull all his funding out (including the rehab) through delayed financing.

You flipping a house with your mom can be of some help (show you can forecast and pull a profit) but flipping and land lording do require different skill sets.

Make sure they pull a permit.

Back to that in possibly another post.So given the scenario above, where my partner would have his GC license and can pull the permits, between the two of us have a good handle on high quality materials and where to source them, the general knowledge of the order to get things done, dealing with inspection etc...Is there a good way to gauge how much we could collectively build the duplex for?

so I'm not normally good at these kinds of things. so I'm going to pull some things from the how to introduce yourself guide.

You can only pull 5 reports as a basic member but if you decide to upgrade to PRO, you can pull unlimited reports.  

I mean, anything is possible.I think the real question is, do you have the contacts and the confidence to pull off a deal that looks like that?

There is no point putting it into the plan in the first place if your only intention is to pull it back out immediately in a loan.For someone who has had a 401k for some time and contributed over many years, this "hidden cost" of losing the deferral basis of the 401k funds is acceptable if the use of the borrowed funds will be of real benefit such as getting them started in real estate investing.  

If the landlord would pull a significant increase on you above what he signed on the lease, he is no friend - family or otherwise.  

I'm seriously considering using the BRRR method to obtain some rentals, but before I pull the trigger, I'd like to know some of the pros/cons other BP investors have run into with this strategy?
