I'm looking to add another property that I found, but am short a bit of cash to be able to do an all cash deal on it (I do have some time to get it, ~ 30 days).I think my best bet right now is to refinance either my duplex, or SFR that have no liens on them and use that cash, does that seem like the best option to you all?

And, I'll bet he'll telling his cell mates that he's a "victim."

Are you reaching out to them directly and soliciting them to invest with you outside of the platform?

We have them on our lending platform. 

I am an old dude not up to speed on all these new platforms  would be interested to know what it does

Probably your best bet is Los Angeles. 

They may be asking $260k, but given the situation I’m willing to bet they would accept a lower offer.

We have done well turning our "transient" life style into a great real estate platform.

Best bet for you would be the Eastern Mass REIA in Rockland (2nd meeting in Taunton).  

When the price is too high relative to repairs, but still below market, your best bet may be a subject to / wrap to take over ownership on terms with no money down.
