I work with investors out of the country and have a few contacts I can connect with you on funding options. 

We would like to create a partnership where we are 50/50 partners and he brings the cash and I bring the experience, knowledge, and contacts ect.

I didn't have enough space in the Title:Novations where the investor uses a Limited Listing that puts them as the primary contact for scheduling showings, receiving/accepting offers and negotiating are brokering without a license.Novations where the investor actually hires a real estate broker to handle the aforementioned for the seller are not included. 

@Jefferson Black- thanks - I am not aware of any lender that  will do a loan on an INV  manuf home property ...you might contact the local small to mid size credit unions and banks in your area ...you also might try the bank that you have  funds deposited at - good luck

I point it out on flips or old houses, talk about how much it costs, and I don't think I've ever had a buyer give a flip (pun intended).The other trick for a buyer's agent is 90% of the time, they'll never know who the appraiser is or when the appraiser is scheduled or what their contact info is. 

THEN I contact the agent and ask for concessions if I feel the needed repairs or costs go excessively above and beyond the price I’ve already negotiated.

I also updated our initial contact letter to explain that it's in their best interest for us to do the pre-qualification so inquiries don't waste time or money driving out to the property and/or completing an application when they won't qualify anyway.

You don’t want your lender to go out of business while still holding your construction escrow funds.Can you provide me with the contact info of some recent borrowers?

Additional Considerations✅ Confirm assumption eligibility – Contact the lender directly before paying the arrears.✅ Get everything in writing – Work with a real estate attorney to draft a contract protecting your funds.✅ VA entitlement impact – If you assume the loan, check whether the seller’s VA entitlement is released.Final ThoughtsThis deal has potential, but structuring it correctly is key.

Have a great foundation repair company in your contacts list as well as a great structural engineer.Some flippers thrive on these properties as without repair they can be difficult to finance with financing an owner/occupant would use.
