This way you have proof of concept and can present your first deal to future investors as experience.

Not sure where you got that from.next time you tag me please have a better concept of the point I was making.

So, just so I understand (because I'm still trying to totally grasp the concept):  I'll plunk down all cash at first and then refinance w/ a lender to get a mortgage on the place--so that way, I'll get the money back that I paid initially (or most of it), and afterwards only have to pay the monthly mortgage, correct?  

As a newbie, adding another layer of problem-solving to my pursuit in light of all the other concepts I'm trying to work through (rehab, landlording, financing, etc.) doesn't do much for my confidence.

But the concept should remain the same.

After reminders from @Tom V. about my prior experience and expertise, I'm wondering how much my thoughts about testing the trailer/airstream/tiny home concept out (or even living on a temporary living situation there myself and renting out my nice apt on AirB&B) are influencing my thoughts about this property if there were no consideration for the temporary living aspect. hmmm....

Like @Kerry Edwards mentioned, Anderson isn't the hotbed of activity like Indy is.It looks like ARV is in the lower $80k range with at least 90 DOM.I hope that helps.

Listen to all 90 some podcasts and you will have a great grasp on the concepts talked about in realestate investing!  

Is there a similar concept for moving money from stocks to property without getting nailed by Uncle Sam?

I attended my first seminar and fell in love with the concept of REI and the many different forms of it.
