Other examples would be private lending for down payments, borrowing from family (not possible for me), doing a owner-occupied investment and saving the rent I would normally have paid for a year and then reinvest (this is my plan as of yet, but it seems that it would take a long time before I accomplished my goals), using a credit card to fund deals (which I will not do), partnering (very skeptical of some others motives since I am new), selling after a year or two (speculating appreciation of course, which is bad news) and various not so friendly ideas.Can anyone shed some light to what ways that I can roll into the next property fast so I can start the snowball effect in the first year?
