Bottom line was a $1,325,000 profit on a $1.775,000 investment in little more than a year and a half.  3.

Like any other system these days it has a lot of features but I use it mostly to organize my data.

If they get paid up-front, how hard will they work to make the deal profitable? 

With that being said I think you will find the multi-family model, 2-4 units more profitable, than a SF.

The local market in Waynesville showed strong demand for updated homes, making this deal an attractive option for a profitable flip.

We got the seller a quick and easy sale, while adding a profitable deal to the end buyer's portfolio What was the outcome?

Nonetheless, the only way for him to get anywhere near the profit he's looking for is through seller financing and since he owns it outright that's a solid option. 

@Jesse LeBlanc, I still don't see what the point of any arrangement the seller/borrower and the lender had was.The only thing I can GUESS is that by overpaying the lender grossly, they will receive that residual money after January 1st and be able to book the profits in a different tax year.

I know it likely lowers the profit margins.

My partner funded the entire purchase price, and we are about to refinance at the market value, allowing him to get all his cash back with a profit and allowing me to buy the house with no money down.
