Just want to shorten the learning curve and have structured education.

My constraints are that I am only 24 and do not have any previous lending history nearly to this capacity, as well as having limited knowledge on how to structure these deals with subdivisions.

Hi Scott,It seems like you’ve got a strong understanding of creative financing and investing strategies, but I do have a couple of comments and suggestions that could help you improve future deals.First, while your financing structure was incredibly effective, it’s crucial to always account for potential delays in renovation and build in a buffer for holding costs.

I am glad and fortunate that I am already well positioned with my RE holdings.Good luck ya know maybe the market is just normal and what was not normal was all those investors who jumped in 2010 to 2020 those were abnormal times.. prices interest rates.. maybe we are just back to normal ???

Having it in both FL (my domicile) and CT (property location), created double the work and fees in both states.From what I can tell this isn't the right entity structure anyway, so I can imagine it was a pain with many extra costs! 

It's not a zero sum game and they don't have anything to gain by telling you straight, ie they're not going to tell you it's a chump fund if the underlying structure is solid.

I can refer you to a few title companies who are familiar with structuring these contracts but are not San Diego based.

Perhaps the conventional 5% down, but since I am self-employed and write everything off, I am being told that I would still need to put down 20% and provide a year's worth of bank statements to satisfy the underwriter.My question for the community is: does anyone have any ideas on how I might structure my first deal to acquire property number one?

And some are reasonable at both of these things, but can't handle owner-occupied units, or multiple ownership structures, or lack the flexibility to track a real-estate related side hustle.
