Thanks Mindy I was actually talking about when someone mentions me in a comment but I figured it out. :-)

Never mind. I

My current market, Portland, OR/ Vancouver WA isn't a great place for me to buy right now, with my goals in mind.  I

Keep in mind I don't know your situation at all.

Hi Landon, Do you have a price range in mind?  I

Dion, first of all I thank you for the long and detailed answers, i have no problem with your honesty.I know that I can't myself service notes, I guess I wrote "setting up the payments" in my mind was like boarding the notes to a service company that has all the knowledge about regulation etc.Also as in JV maybe I don't have the right knowledge but I meant as two people coming together in some sort of a contract or LLC, one is the investor and one is the "know - how guy", of course I don't think that at this stage I would be the "know-how guy", I just wanted to figure out if there is any customary terms in notes like 50-50 split or whatever.Also this post is part of me learning, I read the forums and read some books, viewed some videos and wanted a bit more information and answers to stuff I had in mind, I thought about pulling the gun on investing in a note as part of a JV so I could learn from and experienced investor.I don't take this business lightly and I don't expect rainbows and unicorns just yet, I know I have big gaps in knowledge but that's why I try to learn and digest as much as possible.

Keep in mind, I am not a RE attorney (haha, gotta throw in the disclaimer!)
