You are looking for positive deals that allow you a payday.  

You could be standing across the street from a million dollar pay day, you just have to see it.

Are you willing to get a mortgage on your own and then deal with the tenants without seeing a big payday for a while?

If you can hang on and do something like this you should be in for a nice payday at the end.How long will it take if he continues to work nights and weekends?

Have you thought through whether your "payday" is worth the effort?

If we want a big payday, we can always sell one at time to the retail investors and qualify for long-term capital gains too.

It is on a 15 yr loan so we should have a nice payday for us. 

even better if they need a lot of work, if you get it for cheap fix up and rent you can build solid equity in the property and cash out for a big payday.

I have to Disagree  on that one my Family is Been Investing in Real estate for over 70 years, i am the 4th generation and my Grandfather now 85 and very very well off gives me his advice and tells me if you can get some free money ( cash flow ) that what he calls it is still the best cause somebody is building equity for you and you getting a return on the original cash investment you did out of pocket its not that is for poor investors is for people who are starting and want to make quick money that part is true but not always Cash flow is a powerful thing with the right cash flow property you can start extracting equity and build savings and grow your portfolio even more no matter how rich you are, the shorestein family large real estate owners which i happen to know personally says less money out of your pocket more money that will come in after pay day. interpreted how ever you want thats my opinion not all deals can be cash flow but if you find one is good to get in.
