Hi all,I am trying to put together a deck to raise money with friends and family for multi family investment purchasing.

It’s evident that you’ll still need to invest into yourself, your knowledge base and real estate education before you or your friends and family invest in you and real estate.

Greetings BP Friends!

However, I have a friend who just became a realtor and I'm big on supporting friends and their endeavors so I am supporting her.The homes within a 1 mile radius that are comparable to the home I just flipped and am about to put on the market are selling for the price I want to list mine as.

-owned our primary residence for 4 years-interested in making an offer on a friend's fixer property, they selling due to devorce.- owe 330000 on our house it is worth 480000Looking to cash out refinance to put down payment on a new loanQuick questionI have submitted cash out refinance applications with usbank (our current mortgage holder) and peeny Mac online.Any suggestions of other places to look for a down payment for a new house.

If you've had a great experience working with an investor-friendly agent in the area, I'd really appreciate the recommendation!

And I would expect Texas to be more business (read:landlord) friendly.

This would save on space in the compact areas meant for securing personal belongings and sleeping.
