Since I can acquire off market deals with 15-17% cap rates I have no problem paying a premium for high interest rate with a smaller down payment.

I had an owner with $300k of equity on a $450k house, tell me he got behind and lost his house to me in foreclosure because his girlfriend is super hot but really needed bigger boobs, and not making his payment was the only idea he could come up with.

-or conventional investment loan at 25% down ( I have just under 100k but with 25% down & rehab work I won't have much money left for other deals unless I use VA financing to move into a primary home (another 4-plex) then I could have 1 official investment property and 1 primary aka another 4-plex for a total of 8units)For the tenant situation, I'm thinking I should put them on a month to month lease for the time being since they are already living here and they can help me pay for the hard money monthly payment which is $1,584.98 while I get the 2 vacant units stabilized. 

I guess I'm wondering if there's a way that you can 100% eliminate checks / non-electronic payments.

In May of 2016 I purchased my first property from my landlord who owns multiple properties.Got a great deal.He owner financed the home to me.Home Price $186,000Down Payment 40,0007% Interest2 Year BalloonPre-payment Penalty: 6 month of interestThe house is now worth $300,000Heres where I need some sound advice!

After each step was crossed they would “suggest” you be a part of the next step which would basically require some form of cash down payment.

@Nick Kendall , my first thought is that you and your wife would be better off doing a small BRRRR or even house hack (low down payment because you're owner-occupied)....why dilute yourself with a partner and take 1/2 of a small deal?

Also, does anyone have a recommendation for the best wiget for accepting fees and rental payments?

With a 20% down payment and closing costs, you are in it for $17k.

I wish to cash out refinance, out of my VA loan, what is my current primary residence in order to generate some capital towards the 20-25% down payment on the investment property, and free up the complete amount of my VA loan.
