I am sure there are some here on BP that owe it all to BP.. but just as many or more owe it to who ever they paid to get them off their butt and get going.. if that cost you 1k for Ben's course or a little more for a year of hands on training by someone like Brian or you paid 40k for a national brand training it is that step that made most take the next step.Along with the I want it now attitude of our current brand of RE investor and the age of the internet getting in front of people and enticing them with the idea that RE is the way to rich's and quit their job and spend time with the kiddos etc.  

It is enough to sound very enticing, but there is no pressure put on them to say yes or no.  

If you do propose this to them you would probably have to offer them a good rate ( more than the Bank is using) to make it enticing for them and you would have to convince them that they would be 2nd lien on the property, the bank would be 1st lien.

There's no fixed assignment fee, it's a function of what it's worth (keeping in mind that it has to be a favorable deal to buyers, how many ready and able buyers you have (or can quickly find), and your need to entice action within your option period) less your contract price.    

The down payment is negotiable between you and the seller, but generally the more you offer the more enticing it is to the seller.

Having them as the preferred lender may entice them, if they can get financing for all/most of the units. 

If they sold fully renovated at a lower number you might need to get the house for a lower amount to get that cushion and make it more enticing.

So the more personalized you make something, the higher potential to disuade potential buyers/renters as to entice them. 

This is basically is the % of Net Operating Income that an investor would expect as an annual return for that property and would entice them to purchase it. 

There's a lot of dirt cheap deals (under $10k for a SFH) that can be enticing, but those may be your toughest streets, but there's also huge inventory of higher priced commercial and multifamily deals that's been vacant for a while that you really can drive a hard bargain on.Detroit isn't for the novice, but don't let it scare you away, and obviously, the more ground network you have, the easier it'll be to navigate.
