I believe I hear what you are saying though, for sure -- that it's better, more fair, and more likely to get deals, if you yourself can show up to the table offering something.... in hard cashbut you still have to know how "fix and flip" works, how to renovate something, how to negotiate.... what contracts to do, how long things take.... etcthat was the concept I liked about Gator, is that it's a team that passes that niche off to the other person, who is good at that - and they can all structure deals together.... you have the deal guy.... the money guy.... the fix and flipper guy, etc. -- and they find deals that could be good for all of them - and everyone is helping each otherI think BiggerPockets will be a potentially pretty reliable place - I know that there's different roles, "finders", "buyers", "sellers".... maybe I can just find deals, and connect people together, and get some kind of small finder's fee for it, or something.... ok so that first 10-20k is important to just be able to provide - when getting into this....

I certainly can see how this all happened though Guru's charging folks how to be a synidcator so lots of beginners.. then of course competing offerings and knowing how investor gravitate to the highest returns without really understanding the risks etc.

It was just an offer (costs extra) through a local lender I used!

Holding the new property until passing offers a step-up in basis, eliminating deferred taxes for heirs.

Agents just need to make sure their clients are serious and are going to be able to get funds when making offers on deals.

If you’re offering $450K, then you could offer to take over the $120K payments and seller finance the remaining $330K.
