After the account is set up and funded account owner can use it to invest into virtually anything, including private lending, rentals, etc. 

Also, it seems to me that the commentators to my thread are thinking I'm throwing out low offers to see what sticks.This isn't the case at all.I'm an Investor that buys for FUTURE appreciation of both Cash Flow and Appreciation. 6 of the 8 Investment Properties I bought were from retail advertising from Brokers on the MLS.I am already wealthy and believe in setting up a win-win scenario for everyone, including the Seller, the Broker, and myself.I don't believe getting a 5% discount now on a price is worth it in my scenario.For instance, I bought a property 2000 for $140k purchase price.

I make a list of every possible thing I need to include in a Rehab and develop a ruff Rehab cost (I add an additional 20% just in case).  

I'd check that out for sure, it includes many creative ways to finance deals!

We currently collect the rent and maintain the property now including all repair and upkeep.

Most homes I'm finding, including in general a 20k rehab, are around 65K.  

I can tell you that I would never invest in a deal unless the lead investor had significant skin in the game.

Experience, accessibility of support, protecting your personal data, how long a firm has been in business, etc. are things you will want to include in your mix.

Make sure you get a good inspection, including termite inspection!  

I'm not an anti-stock market guy by any means, but I recognize that attractive long-term returns in equities will include a lot of volatility along the way.
