Also I would like to give him protection against the initial cash outlay which becomes instant-equity in the home (i.e. the down payment + renovations). 

That put an instant itch in me---I needed to do it again!  

We are not the best lender for every investor (although the more traditional types of funding we extend can and do work for most deals) Interestingly it does not seem to matter how many success stories we publish, case studies we produce, documented deals we list,  legitimate positive reviews we receive - there are those who instantly believe anything negative they read online and dismiss all of the positive.

That's why your car insurance doesn't cover you while you're out delivering pizza.

I have been listening to BiggerPockets for a few months now and I am very impressed with the content that is being delivered to us.

., to deliver a long form message but at least at that point you have an interested buyer/seller that is ready to listen to your message.

No instant equity. ie.

But on time periods of 30 years, is not realistic that the yield that the property will deliver is the one of the higher peak.

I dream of financial freedom (as I would think all of you mostly do LOL) but I also want to start my REI adventure because I'm tired of the 9-5, I want more time with my family, and I want more purpose in life than just delivering pizzas.

I try to avoid communicating using instant messaging with tenants!
