Is it common to purchase a home with other debt?

May affect your ability to work in the financial field, or in any managerial position of a company that’s raising venture capital8.

& how you become financially free is by letting whoever your renting to (I'm guessing that was a step also?)

Your debt is easily found, I suggest you disclose the loan. :)

If I create a debt fund that offers 9% interest on first lien notes with a 5-7 year payout, would that be attractive to high net worth investors?

Never heard of Host Financial.

I mean myself and any bank would need more details, but if you utilize that large sum as a downpayment and have a small mortgage, wouldn't you easily qualify for the debt to income?

Can you do side hustles, cut down costs to get rid of these debts?

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

Now, my accounts are managed by Inspira Financial Trust.
