Other peoples money (investors)

[Dustin Murray]

Hello all.

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this. I have been crunching numbers on a boat load of properties and can't seem to figure out how to use "someone else's money" (as everyone says) and make it a profitable deal. Pay the banks back, pay the investors back, and now all my math = negative cash. How do you strike a deal and make everyone money? What on earth am I missing. I have a small investment opportunity $145000, and would like to purchase a group of duplex units over a million dollars. What is the best way to go about the funding on these deals?

Thank You

Dustin
