you will usually split a 50/50 equity deal for newbie investors but as you build your portfolio and experience you can start to weigh that more on your side. go to networking events and look for private money or if you qualify go with agency debt or some other loan product first

So in this case, yeah it could be worth it to get your license, as long as you understand its probably a negative cash event and accept that.

It gives me the flexibility to do Redfin events while choosing when I spend time working on our investing as well as our blog. 

What does your lease say regarding how much time is given in the event of a non-renewal? 

You might see office at 10%, mutlifamily 8% and industrial at 6% all in the same metropolitan area. 

We could get something together and make it a monthly event. 

That way your extra cash flow can help in the event of slightly higher vacancy or maintenance while you figure out your management situation.

You can do that through BP (under Network and then Events) and through the Meet Up app.

talk to Peak Asset Lending in KC  @Alexander Felice  banks generally wont fool with stuff this low unless you have existing relationships with them.. the cost and risk of having a default far out weight what a bank can make on a 15 to 20k mortgage.but i have seen small local commerial banks do these for local citizens that own 10 to 50 homes and its their cottage industry so to speak

That event is heavily weighted to seller carryback investing rather than NPL investing.
