In addition you can consolidate multiple properties into 1 - I personally like this idea - one roof, one HVAC system etc. 

I spoke with multiple lenders, hard money, traditional, private, but they all wanted a large lump sum of cash reserves that I didn’t fully have.

None of that is direct client engagement (by design). 

The Regulations contain an "anti-abuse rule" which basically prohibits breaking into multiple invoices "a single unit of tangible property."

I engaged an environmental engineer for a preliminary report, and found the contamination much more limited than feared.  

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Danny L.Have you invested the past year or in the sponsor you mentioned as there are posts on BP regarding it from those who have invested@ChrisYes, I've invested in multiple offers the past year with various sponsors.

You want to use multiple sources to get a feel for rents.I hold open houses for my rentals.  

Since these actions are very state specific, and involve an understanding of esoteric features of civil law, it’s vital that your friend engage the services of an attorney specializing in ASSET PROTECTION and licensed to practice in the state in question.  

You can get homes with strong cash flow, lower entry prices, and good short-term rental potential, meaning your capital can go further and allow you to build multiple rental streams.

Give updates on properties you’ve looked at or analyzed to keep your audience engaged, so when they stumble upon a potential situation, you are the first one they think of.Good luck!
