Now if he gets you by the hand and shows you how to buy with no cash and credit, and you are able to buy, then his snake oil is worth it weights in gold, but he will have many excuses his business is selling snake oil not real estate.

@Edison ChadwickThere will be cash flowing deals you will have to deploy more capital to see cash flow. 

Some lenders can refinance a hard money loan after 3 months of seasoning / waiting and use the new appraised value if the borrower is looking to pull cash out for a new project. 

I don’t have that cash flow. 

Although I know the home I live in is no asset, I see its cash flow potential if I can be living elsewhere.

Their father agreed to pay cash for it and my friend and I are now paying him back over the course of 6 years.

Thanks in advance for your replies!

I am wanting to sell all my stocks and just take the cash since I don't want to drain the majority of my savings/checking purchasing real estate and have most of my money in stocks.

Thanks in advance.

Well sec 8 pays more than cash, in most areas.
