Figure around $100 for the roll-out (cost of taking your call, getting into his truck that he provides - filled with all the necessary tools, and showing up), then some time to go and purchase the locks, time to install the locks, time to bill you for the service, time to record and cash your check, and finally add the cost of the locks themselves.

@Johnathan CodyWorking with Banks as an investor for purchases and cashouts can be a hassle.The next best option is an alternative financing source.Hard money rates and terms usually 8-12% on rate with a one year loan term.

A good realtor can offer up alternatives.

I see some other websites out there that are doing the similar things as Roofstock but is there any other good ones Biggerpockets community recommend?

But due to my colorblindness I had to take an alternative course. 

Alternatively, with a HELOC, I could buy smaller properties for cash and then use the BRRR strategy.I'm looking for buy and hold (and not flips) and I'm open to investment areas (preferably in the tri-state area but if I can find good cash flow, I'd be open). 

It depends on your current situation, investing strategy, market conditions, and alternate opportunities.

HiI am having a hard time understanding how one should pay himself within a family partnership (LLLP).i have limited understanding in taxation*My accountant advised we have a salary paid by the entity, essentially making us employees.i read that there are some caveats to that, is there an alternative/conventional way to set-up recurring compensation?

The CAP is relative to alternatives.
