With Oil & Gas projects, investors shared an 80-82.5% stake in each project leaving between 20-17.5% for the landowner and oil company who organized and operated the prospect.

@Becky Wolfe , I don't think this is really an issue of getting others' opinions... it just depends on what strategies fit your needs, skills, time availability, etc.  

What are the pros and cons of renting a property to an organization?

So, I would say if you sit down and make a list of all the people you feel like you can approach using your phone book from your cell, your friends list from facebook if you have an account, or any other organization you belong to including family and you speak with all of those people you list and can't find any private money, then perhaps you will have to use a HM loan to do these deals and refi with a bank until you have built 1) enough cash to bypass the HM or 2) have enough equity/relationship with the bank to obtain an LOC.I didn't have enough to flip in the beginning either so I used rental  property to make equity and upon refi ing those properties bought on contract initially with a local bank I gained a large equity position in my properties that I used as an LOC to then enter the flipping market.Hope that helps ya out buddy!

If you're looking to earn money and have skills we're always short handed. 

I once was baffled over how I will ever be able to renovate a property (I don't have the skill, I thought).
