A few ideas I have heard of:Credit Card Balance Transfers - there are credit cards that have promotional periods of zero dollar balance transfers (just pay 3% up front) and can use that to leverage money for a down payment. 

It is much easier to say you're accredited and seek promoters using the right exemptions for you.  

Their business model is that they make most of their money through the title company that they heavily promote.

I don't want to break the forum self promotion rules, so I don't have any suggestions for agents or property management.

If you're looking to tap your home equity, Meriwest Credit Union has a 2.49% interest only HELOC promotion.

At the 2 hr. preliminary presentation, which was promoting a 3-day seminar to come a little later, another registrant next to me specifically asked whether the 3-day was real training we could really use to flip houses and not just an up-sell program and we were assured it was real training, not up-sell.

In any case the general partner will usually be compensated in the form of an equity promote in the LLC.  

I checked out his website ***************.com which they charge $100 monthly for full access, follows a similar set up as this one but you can tell it is only for self promotion and to juice its' members.
