For those of you who started with limited funds, what approach worked best for you?

I would love for this person to be able to counsel us on our entire portfolio (retirement, mutual funds, AND real estate), LLCs, do our taxes, and offer RE professional tips.

You can get this funded, but you’ll need a lender who’s comfortable stepping in mid-project.

With them signing on the loan, you should have no problem with funding. 

We have the experience and work within our niche so we ca get funding and have the trades to call on that support us.  

Banks do not want to compete most investor loans are now funded by private equity companies and eventually securitized.

I’ve kicked the idea around but have continued with TSM index funds out of fear, lack of knowledge and some laziness.

I’ve seen deals get declined by one lender and funded 48 hours later by another with a different view on leverage or income coverage.

.- Many take days or weeks to send funds - some even try to coerce us into funding them ourselves and reimbursing ourselves via future rents.- Then we have the owners that insist on hiring their own contractors.

You Can Only Have 35 Non-Accredited InvestorsRule 506(b) allows an unlimited number of accredited investors but restricts you to only 35 non-accredited investors.However, there’s a catch:Non-accredited investors must be financially sophisticated.They must have enough experience to evaluate the investment risks.From the SEC:“Securities may not be sold to more than 35 non-accredited investors… [who] must meet the legal standard of having sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.”If you’re planning to include non-accredited investors, make sure they qualify—or you could be violating SEC rules.3.
