Most importantly, every deal we have done has been thoughtful, profitable, and worthwhile for all those involved. 

Then figure out how much of a "kicker" you want to add to the fair market value of your property to make it a worthwhile transaction for both of you.  

I haven't met one that can show me a property that is worthwhile for me to look at as I work as hard as they do finding properties and my standards of location/value are way too difficult for them (I only buy in prime A locations and they don't have anything in those areas).   

The reason I ask is because it may be more worthwhile spending the free time you have now to find, meet and work with people that could make up your team in the future so managing them will be a lot easier when you have less time on your hands.

So in this circumstance it may not be worthwhile going thru the gyrations to buy the note with your only profitable outcome being that you *might* take it back at auction.  

I am too, However, I get things done and know that nothing worthwhile cones easy in the long run.Beck issue was marketing to people who it never occurred to make money investing until they saw his late night TV commercials, whether insomniac, stoned or both. 

If my deal/need for the financing is what it should be, then all of the rest of the dialogue is moot.Do you find it much harder to find worthwhile deals for long term buy and hold for cash flow especially with private lending?

The best answer is to cultivate one or more of those skills, and then parlay that into worthwhile investments.

You've got the right equity position, gain and potential tax amount, and search parameter requirements to make a reverse very attractive.Although they are more expensive your numbers make it a very worthwhile consideration.  

This then turns from an expense to a profit.It really depends on your plan as to whether or not this is worthwhile to you or not.
