I am in the beginning stages of raising money for my real estate investments as I would like to look into bigger multi-family projects but cannot afford them on my own.If you have raised capital for a project, please share:1.

We tend to ignore medical and educational debt / black marks but our flags are raised when we see cc missed payments, cable, power, etc. 

This is deflationary and will prevent the Feds from raising rates.Terry Lewis

Maybe the previous inhabitants were in the business of raising indoor plants.

So I can raise about 20k for a down payment  and if I have  five homes @ 60k each with a 100% equity (which cash-flow conservatively @ $200/ month each) but I have no income other than this - can I leverage these homes and get the line of credit you talked about?

The people you will find who want your deal are newbie flippers....a very dangerous breed to do business with.Then if you do a successful deal, your partner now has some cash and experience to go raise cheaper money and often does not need you for his next deal so you are left rolling the dice on another newbie.  

In October, iFunding raised over $6 million for projects.

People buy these for $1.2m and usually add a 2nd story to gain sq footage to 2400sq plus and one of these sold recently for $2m So now there is a nice mix of upper end homes for families to raise children with seniors and the upwardly mobile who invest in the desirable location.As far as growing goes, there is not too many areas to expand into around the foothills of the west bayarea so this is pretty much standard fair for the whole west side.

I also like to network with attorney's, CPA's, Realtors that understand paper, experienced note brokers and others that are likely to come into contact with note holdrs that are looking to raise capital.
