Quote from @Deborah Wodell: Hey everyone,When it comes to fix-and-flip projects, the down payment and closing costs can add up quickly.

In return he will place the down payment, closing costs and IO payments during the HML.If the property is initially purchased by one LLC (Ours) and there is an active loan on the property, is it possible to register half of the property under the name of the investor's LLC as part of our model?

And then I think you can put an LLC into the Trust.  

It tracks rent payments, expense categories, mortgage interest, and more in one place.I’ve found it really cuts down on prep time.

Layer on the ability to invest the funds that otherwise would go towards the down payment and transactional costs and you likely come out ahead in such a short term horizon renting.

 (2) You can also use Lead Swiper to target buyers online.Private Lender Leads: (1) Lead Swiper can easily target private lender leads (2) Nationwide Private Lender database (although this is 1-time payment premium feature, it's cheap), if you want access to capital, quick and easy, it's a no brainer.Hope that helps.

(Close on the payment calculation!

In this instance what I would do is get the deed in lieu from the borrower so you ahve the property again and get a note from them but have an attorney draft it to see if you can include a confession of judgment - meaning if they do not pay then you can get a quick judgment and possibly garnish wages.I would also have them put a small down payment as part of the note and only accept a check that way if you ever did garnish you have a copy of a check so you know where they bank.unfortunately you are right they can stop paying on the note and its unsecured so its a risk but out of all the options this is your best option.

As stated i have had OTAs initially refuse payment but end up paying so this may end with favorable results for the host, but the host has to go through some additional hurdles.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1224322-airb...I think OTA competition is good for both hosts and guests.  

For near term investors, be prepared for sizable down payments to reach a cash flow neutral stance no matter how far out you look in the suburbs.
