.⚠️ Beware of these red flags:🚨 Bad partners who don’t communicate or operate ethically🚨 Financial arrangements that don’t make sense🚨 Risk levels that are too high for the returnIf ANY of these ingredients are bad, walk away—even if the deal looks profitable on paper.🚀 Lesson: Part of a good deal is better than 100% of no deal, but 0% of a bad deal is better than any piece of a bad deal.Final ThoughtsToo many investors make the mistake of wanting 100% ownership and control—but they forget that it’s better to own part of a great deal than to own nothing at all.🏡 Real estate is a team sport—and the investors who understand this scale faster, learn more, and build more wealth.Discussion Questions for You:1️⃣ Have you ever walked away from a deal because you wanted 100% ownership?

if they are pressuring you like this.PLEASE watch the American Greed Episode on Remmington Financial  .not saying these guys wont or don't fund of course.. but when I do my deals with my banks its common that I pay for the phase one and the appraiser directly..  

That being said, if a seller is pushy about financing it does raise a yellow flag for me, perhaps they want to finance because they don't want a bank or anyone else looking under the hood.

Also look back on their application and see if you missed any 'red flags" so this can be a valuable learning experience for you.
