I am interested in short and long term investments as I wish to retire from my current job ( driver for UPS), within the next 5 yrs. 

I'm currently working  on a Short Sale 3-unit that I will have available soon.  

I handed the loan officer a Bigger Pockets calculator report and he unexpectedly told me he would give me an unsecured short term 90 day loan for the purchase price so I could do a cash offer.  

To make a long story short,  the managers told me a couple weeks later that he had to see my Title.

@Andy W.I work with four in total --- so the short answer is yes.

That leaves you $350 short to cover expenses.I would pass.

The photo ID at the time of registering is still pretty light as it can be anyone for anything, but I can't see a method short of biometrics scanning that will cover all the bases.We are looking into all of this in advance.

I am looking for buying SFR or Multifamily for short term rentals or Flipping opportunities.. 

Long story short, there are definitely better/cheaper options out there you just have to do the leg work.

I would think your capital investment will be based on your short-term goals and business plan.
