I am looking for Private money because of the flexibility and I'm trying to avoid the high upfront fees charge by Brokers and Hard Money lenders.I would like to hear more details about your Private Equity and JV process.

She and I talk about investing everyday and she said "Listen next property I come across in 60k-80k range, I will finance it in my name, put both of our names on the house and we will paint, put laminate floors in and sell it in a few months and split the profits" ..She Obviously went more into detail but the only reason she is doing this is to help me get into it..

They will be able to give you the details about the listing.

(I'm saying "no money down-ish" since none of it is OOP, although technically 10% is my money through equity that is otherwise just sitting there) The rental income on one unit will pay the conv. mortgage; I'll need to find a tenant for the 2nd (and much nicer) unit since it is owner occupied.

They fear that we will fail in our investments and express concern over every detail of investing that we mention.We do our best to take into consideration any points that they mention, but we know that their reactions are all based in the fear of investing.

The value of the detail depends on your plans for the property.

If either of you are interested in trying to find investment property I am more than willing to help... you can call me at my office or email me and we can discuss in more detail what you are looking for.

So, although I'm technically using my own money in the form of equity, its still a loan so I therefore consider it to be 100% financing.Most properties I've come across are at a negative cash flow, some severely so.

Do a search for Los Angeles REI to get more details.
