Might be hard to make much cash flow depending on your leverage though.

If you have 1st, last and security of at least 1 month you have leverage since you are holding them.In my area it isn't that easy to rent mid month so I'd be looking at the 1st as when I could get someone in there if I had good candidates.

I would encourage you to keep reading and interacting here on BiggerPockets to learn and leverage all the experience we have in this community.

I guess I should have asked my question a little differently, though i may still garner the same response.Is there a best practice for leveraging the equity in my existing property to further grow my real estate investment portfolio?

I am weighing the possibilities of : 1) Using a loan from the PM Lender against say 50% (maybe more) of price of the properties I hold in the SDIRA, in order to further leverage my own SDIRA funds into other properties, which the PM lender would likely help fund also.

I am an experienced flipper having been in RE since '04 and rehabbing full time since 2010.In order to leverage the experience and time that I have, I am now looking for equity partners who are willing to fund the deal/rehab costs 100%.

Ideally they would be based in Southern California, but with technology these days, it wouldn't be a deal killer if they are cross country.

I am planning to go back to school also to get my construction technology degree to learn some of the contracting parts of the business as well.

I projected a 21 % leveraged cash on cash return but in reality it has been performing much higher.

Face to face meetings are good as long as the technology supports it and they aren't too long.
