What's Worth my Time?

[Daniel J.]

I am currently analyzing a 4 plex, and will be working with a partner who will be fronting the money for the down payment and repairs. To get the proper return for him the deal would need to cash flow $400 a month. I would of course love it to cash flow another $400 a month for myself. To gain those numbers I would need to offer 100k under their asking price. To have a higher chance of making the deal happen is it worth sacrificing some cash flow for myself? Or should I stick with $100 a door? I will be doing the PM. If it matters it wouldn't be my first deal and it's in the north Houston area. Thanks!

A piece of a deal is better than no deal at all. If you build a track record of successful deals like this and show you can keep providing consistent returns for investors, you'll have more credibility to raise capital.
