Hello,I am brand new to real estate investing and, having read only a couple of books, am very much in the “learning” phase.Most of the scenarios that I read about, start with the assumption that one is beginning with no funds and builds a strategy from that point.What’s is some good general advice for someone who is fortunate enough to have a decent amount to start with?  

I funded my first deal, a bank owned foreclosure, with a credit card:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1182801-how-i...

I'm looking for funding for a new build in the South of Main neighborhood.

Another is insurance these days (takes longer than it used to), so getting that in place right away is key.Having discussions with the funding partners helps plan to know what they are looking for so can match the deal with the funding source. 

It's like the meme I will give the first million people my course on how to raise $1 million for only one dollar 

What opportunities exist to purchase property from Open Door Capital an an extreme discount so that investors can possibly get a small portion of their investment back?

I've gone this route several times using bridge money to acquire my buildings usually around 70% ltv and they would fund 100% of the initial rehab scope.  

if you are raising 40 K from multiple investors, you are now talking about securities.

But we have many tenants that we have not raised rent on. 

I’ve got a house that I can get funding for purchase price, but I am needing help with rehab funds.
