Has anyone had any success with forming partnerships, where one partner would supply all the financing (house cost/material cost..etc.) and the other partner did all the renovation work for flips or MF rentals?

The data I have so far does not really show supply vs demand as I can see, so I will have to get that at location I guess.

Here is the latest for example: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/03/21/feb-existing-home-sales/2004761/orhttp://www.thenichereport.com/breaking-news-2/finally-more-homes-for-sale/All of them say that "professionals expects home values to end 2013 up an average of 4.6 percent and rise cumulatively by 22 percent, on average, over the next five years" and that "the supply of homes for sale is beginning to rise"My question is how can it all influence REI and how in general should everybody analyze when to buy and when to wait.And i would also love to hear your predictions.Thanks in advance for your reply!

I sure you don't don't see it in places where it freezes, but since it's totally temperate here, water supply and sewer lines are often installed on the outside.

I would supply the cash for the initial purchase and rehab, he would do all other work involved.

In 2 weeks we start marketing and I have already started networking with brokers.Next up:I want to raise $3MM in private funding to acquire apartments (not exactly sure how to move forward with this one but have been spending a few nights a week networking in places I hope to meet them)Glad to hear people are still doing well with supply tightening, and thanks to BP for the support!

The "choice" you have is to relocate to a different area that isn't governed by HOA's, unfortunately it appears that in your area, the supply of such places are few.

In moderate metropolitan areas where supply/demand is somewhat liquid as well as comps relatively close the Zestimate has been really close.

The primary difference this time around was the complete lack of lending standards that led to the inability of banks to decipher (or caring to decipher) between high quailty mortgage loans and junk loans.If yields start to go up and hedge funds/investors begin selling homes in order to chase the yields on corporate/govt bonds, then prices would fall based on supply and demand theory.

I still do not see the relevance of the contract which the LLC operates as it relates to new ownership of the real property.I don't think you have anything to fear by supplying the OA.
