Ahh the chicken and the egg... the deal or the money story... you are looking for a direct answer in an industry where there are no direct answers....

You could find a great deal and not have any money to fund it and lose it.

You could have millions in investment capital and no deals to put it into.

Both at the same time? Which one first--I think that is one of the largest discussions on here.

My philosophy is that if you find an amazing deal, the money will come.

Best of luck!
