I would be looking for a deal right now where you gain $100k to $300k instant equity and cashflows. 

Yes, you may end up "paying them more", but when they are sharing in the equity their win is also your win, so they are likely to work harder and do things a little differently when they get a direct benefit from it.  

A win win. 

Some are glorified fee takers and any cash flow or equity return on the property is icing on the cake.I like it more when the fee is just a small component of the deal and the syndicator wins more when their passive investors do on the back end.

Hello everyone,
How do I get a property in foreclosures to live in? I know you need cash to bid. Does any lenders does that? how do I get foreclosure listing? 

That would be his issue with his lender.You would have the option of forcing him to complete the deal, he then has to work out the problems between himself and his lender, that is none of your problem or business.Have your attorney or the real estate agent's broker send a strongly worded letter as a warning about the consequences ( a lawsuit he is unlikely to win).

It IS a mastery level of contracts to do it correctly, lot's of ways to do it wrong, very few on doing it correctly so it's a win-win-win. 

I let the accountants live in the world of forms and paper wins and loses.
