I had 6 house vacancies going into spring;1 eviction2 new purchases3 regular move outsIt was tight, but the new acquisitions didn't help make it any easier because of the rehab costs.

I've heard that regular lenders don't want to lend you too many deals.

A pool takes regular maintenance or it will go south in a hurry.

First I'd like to thank the regular contributors for offering so much of your time to help us new comers, this seems to be a very supportive and patient community.

The difference is an interest rate of ~4.2% vs. commercial loan of 6-9%, which is a pretty huge deal when you consider a 4-plex would fall under a regular mortgage at 4% or less potentially.I see where you're driving with this though as to creating equity and utilizing that later.If anyone knows about SBA regulations for investment property (especially for Oregon) I'd still love to hear it :)-Joe

That one was about regular Joe's doing flips & many of them lost money.

My sister and I are starting a real estate investment business which will initially be funded with our self directed solo 401k's and regular savings.  

They can do this through their IRA's, 401K's, or from their regular bank accounts.  

I currently own 5 properties and I along with my wife are regular flippers.

I have rental properties in regular name and llcs.
