How To Structure a Deal to Buy a Portfolio of 20 Houses From One Investor

[Phil Moeller]

Hello fellow BP Members,

I started investing in 2013, have 5 properties (4 single family, 1 duplex).  I have 1 house under contract now and looking for others to buy, fix and hold (or just buy and hold).  I am investing for cash flow.

I have been working with a local realtor and he is putting me in contact with a real estate investor that has been doing thisfor quite a while.  However, he has a separate successful business and is now looking to sell his properties, he has about 20.

My question is, what are some good ways to structure a deal so that it is attractive for myself as well as the investor that is selling his portfolio of properties?  

Thanks in advance!

Phil
