Following as I deal with STR in the lake region.

I also included a financial stake int he end deal if I closed.

Quote from @Joseph Alfie: Hi everyone,a deal came across my desk.

I'm in Peter's course and maybe it is different for me but I get my 10k back after doing a deal(s) worth $500k which is easy to do really.. feeling close to getting that done in the next few months.

If not, any lease to own lenders for income generating buy and hold deals?

Both of those could put an investor where you are today - unfortunately.I can tell you that I believe I've avoided these types of issues from happening on my deals because I joined coaching programs and had mentors.

Next, I needed to find an investor to assign the deal to.

If you have no desire or ability to go to your own hundreds of thousands dollar investment, why even deal with it?

This will help you close deals faster.Focus on marketing and lead generation to find motivated sellers—direct mail, driving for dollars, and online marketing all work well here.Know your numbers—being able to accurately assess the value of properties and make solid offers is key.Network with other investors and professionals—attend local REI meetups, connect with title companies, and build relationships with hard money lenders.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat more or exchange ideas!

But you can still find deals at $120-180k purchase price that do hit the 1% rule and you get amazing appreciation as well.
