A solid agent will understand that there is a financial gain, but this is a relationship, so if it isn't the right deal, they can be honest with you and you are more likely to use them again and refer.

Is there any way to sort by date, number of posts, likes, etc?

The cross-collateralization would likely need to be in the first lien position if you want to use this strategy

I also like that I am able to borrow from my 401(k) and avoid UDFI (read Mat's book to learn more about this). 

I'm curious to know how others are finding their investment opportunities.Do you guys have a go-to realtor or network for sourcing deals like wholesalers?

@Jon KesslerI would like to figure out how to find tax liens I’ve heard that you can get a list but I don’t know how this process works

After looking into this a bit it seems like there is a rule of purchasing a "like" property to what was held?

Sounds like you're just getting going and in the team formation stage.

(Lots of banks will not lend on properties like this due to the fact that your rehab will typically be more than your purchase).

@Kyle MasonTo increase your loan amount, consider strategies like increasing rental income, co-signing with a co-signer, using portfolio loans, negotiating seller financing, down payment assistance programs, paying down debt, and considering alternative loan products like DSCR loans, non-QM loans, and bridge loans.
