I'm from the SouthCoast area of Massachusetts and I'm interested in multi-family investment properties, and potential flip opportunities mainly in the greater New Bedford/Fall River area.

This usually has lower interest than a HELOC.The conventional loan may suit you just fine, but being able to make a cash offer can give the opportunity of buying at lower price point and avoiding some of the closing costs that come with financing and underwriting.

So, I'm very interested in prospect of using a portion of my net worth to invest in real estate now before this opportunity is lost (i.e. from not being able to get a mortgage, or at least as good of one, post-quitting)*.So, I'm looking to try to acquire my first rental property during the week of 7/3-7/10 - which is when I'll be in the area I'm looking to invest in, and be living long-term starting in August (aside from traveling 90% of the year).I've watched a handful of YT videos and read some blogs on real estate investing in the last day, but I'm looking for any quick advice that might make a big difference.

Meanwhile he was throwing me offers or “opportunities” to invest with him.

Once my emergency fund is set and my retirement contributions are maxed out, I will happily co-invest in my Funds because that'll be the best place to put my extra money.$100k is a reasonable investment for a JV for those that do that.

Any lower can be suspect, much higher indicates opportunity to improve NOI via value add.
