*Investor-Focused Solutions: Custom loan structures that make it easier to get deals done, from seasoned pros to first-time investors.I’m passionate about helping investors simplify the loan process and make smarter financial moves.

I usually spend my time, if the seller is present, keeping him/her out of the way if needed, pumping tenants for info, taking measurements for room sizes and drawing floor plans with doors and windows and noting appliances and taking pictures.We look for value add properties that are in decent structural and mechanical condition (except for one deal that we got really cheap).

Not sure if I follow Ideally we get something that has a good structure but is outdated and needs TLC. 

Hopped up on the adrenaline of their first wholesaling seminar, they are sure they will have 100 deals in the hopper this weekend, but don't have money or an idea on how to structure a contract.

We generally stay away from California because of regulatory issues.We know who we are and what we are good at: we’re out-of-town but highly engaged real estate investors who know how to pencil deals, structure deals and package deals to raise capital.

@Kitty Walker- As an investor, I've refinanced multiple Padsplits and co-living properties (where we go direct to tenant without Padsplit), and I generally agree with your last statement, with some caveats:- if the renovation is done well, the appraiser may not even say anything that would indicate it is an "abnormal" SFR (has happened multiple times with me)-the investor may be wise not to make the house crazy- just leave a nice open living room, put double doors on the dining room so it can function as a bedroom now but be easy to convert later, etc.  

I want to create an LLC/Trust structure to protect the property.

That's the key component that is usually missing when I hear other entrepreneurs/investors say they don't like QBO.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

Common concerns in pre-1940s buildings include outdated plumbing, old electrical systems, and structural issues that could be costly to bring up to modern standards.

Working with a private lender also enabled me to structure favorable terms that aligned with my investment timeline and cash flow goals.
