From what I’ve seen, some flippers are still willing to pay buyer’s agent commissions, especially if they want to attract more buyers and make their properties more competitive.

Yeah, that seems the most attractive to me.

Short-term rentals would be a solution, but due to strict short-term rental laws in rent-controlled areas of Los Angeles, options like Airbnb are typically not feasible.At present, I have a $5 million property in Encino with two units that we cannot rent out short-term due to rent control regulations, and the numbers don’t work for a long-term rental either.

BE CAREFUL LENDERS & BROKERS Everyone wants to be an EMD lender or Transactional Lender…but here is a quick way to lose hundreds or MILLIONS in 1 wire!!

And you have hundreds of students, (which based on my calculations, you've made millions already in selling this crap) yet over the course of 8 months not one of them was successful?

Just be aware that this adds another layer of complexity, and you’ll want to check with both your lender and a real estate attorney to make sure everything is set up correctly.When it comes to terms, owner financing gives you a lot of flexibility:Interest rate: You want something attractive to the buyer but that compensates you for the risk of holding that second lien.Repayment schedule: You can choose a traditional 15- or 30-year schedule, or go with something shorter if you want to be paid off sooner.Balloon payment: Many owner-financed deals include a balloon payment, meaning the buyer pays off the remaining balance after a set period (usually 5-10 years).

Anytime I owe $1 million on a property and sell the property I am going to offer the lender $50 per month in lieu of $1 million immediate.  

We've also done around 25 million in seller carry backs, and refinanced around 25 million from the portfolio.

There were a few years when I owned over $2 million (back when that was a lot, to me at least, say 10-15 years ago) on 10 mortgages.

I wanted to build because the area I’m looking is pretty competitive with STR’s and it has to be something unique and attractive and I feel this will be easier to accomplish building new.
