Here is the situation I'm faced with that replicates the way the Gaines operate their business:-  I bought a fixer with cash and have buyers interested in working with me through the rehab.-  We want to bring them along, give them a seat at the table, and ensure we utilize a floor plan and finishes that are exactly what they want in their future home.  

Also develop your process like a cookie cutter easy to replicate.

So I hope to replicate that.I'm willing to continue flipping, but absolutely not full time.  

great job. now find a way to replicate your efforts. cheers. 

I think this tenant hasn't paid rent for a long time, and I think he and the current owner are on a work-for-rent agreement that the tenant hopes to replicate with me.

I doubt most of us can replicate that.

I'd like to replicate this some day.  

Can you speak a bit more on the program you wrote and how it works if I decide to potentially replicate it.

  - Not looking for a strict Cash on Cash return, but anything above 7-8% would be ideal.Specifically, I would like to loan and put down 3.5% by living in one of the units for a year and then possibly replicate.

The payment is calculated such that after 30 yrs your balance is zero.In your first payment, you owe 7% x $3.5M, but you only borrowed that amount for one month, so it's 1/12th of a year....so $20,417 becomes your interest payment.....that leaves $2,869 to pay down the principal.I use "=PMT()" function in Excel spreadsheets....you don't need an accountant to replicate a mortgage calculation.
