I lowballed them they came back with an offer less than $1k of their original price, this put a $5k spread between both offers so I added $2,500 to mine and they accepted.

The issues can come in later on as they become a regular lender, at that point you can go to the LLC.Before you start using other peoples money, might run it past an attorney, that protects both of you and you'd spread any cost of future deals, not as bad as most think.

Do I go through one property by one property (will be extremely time consuming to physically inspect all the properties since they spread all over the Bay Area - and that I'm still working full-time at my current job - and make each offer one by one?

Then mailing them out in batches of 500 per week to help spread cost over time, and to make sure I don't get swamped with more calls than I can handle.

Hi Jason,As a person who has fallen victim to this myself, you have to watch that you don't spread yourself too thin.  

To piggyback off Chris' reply, for debt investments, you basically get the monthly interest payments, minus whatever the platform charges as a spread or servicing fee.

You need to take that focus on the spread you are seeing there, and apply it towards finding your end-buyers. 

If you don't have the proper spread on your first couple of deals.

To add to what @Ken P. said, taking out a loan from your 401K plan is a great option... you might even be able to spread the repayment over 30 years since the purpose of the loan is to purchase a house that you will occupy.
