Creative Investing (Other peoples money)
Hello fellow BP Members,
I wanted to share me and my business partners financing for many of our deals. We currently have built our investment business to 20 unit in 2 years. Our first few deal were with our own money.
We then started using other peoples money for our down payment (Ex: 100k property, borrow 20K from a private investor). I have always wondered how we could buy a property with no money out of pocket. When meeting with our lender we asked if our down payment could come from someone else....and she said YES!
Instantly I reached our to close family and friends. Fast forward to today - and we literally have people lined up to give us money (20%) for the down payment of our properties.
We pay short term returns of 8-10%. Most of our deal are 3 years at 10%. Every deal we analyze factors in our regular expenses plus or investor payments. While our cash flow is not as great early on, we know after 3 years our cash flow will GREATLY increase after investors are paid off.
I would love to share our strategies with fellow BP members. Feel free to ask questions.
I am looking forward to hear and learn from other BP member.
Thanks,
Jamin
