one last note, owning BTC or any other crypto asset is not an “in lieu of” decision.

Be sure to compare the terms and fees before making a decision!

Make sure to outline clear terms for repayment and the investor’s involvement, if any, in the decision-making process.

You have to make your personal decision, considering the time and effort it will take you to DIY it; the risk of it being done wrong, and the potential opportunities you might miss by not letting the pros handle it for you.The more expensive your property is - the more reasons you have to hire professionals.

YUP I have bought a number of houses at court house steps were the owner said it will never go to sale as I have a buyer.. well buyer is wholesaler who has no money and they cant flip the contract and the poor owner loses their house no time to even file a BK and regroup.. wholesaling is a very sleazy business the way MOST folks do it.. thats why its starting to get attention from the states..

Overall, how long do you spend in deal analysis for each property, and how many properties do you review before making a decision?

The objective is to build a profitable portfolio and when you begin chasing doors you ignore the fundamentals your underwriting should focus on and make bad investment decisions. 

My advice would be to align your decision with your long-term strategy.

Understanding your long term goals is important in making a decision like this. 

If you're going to be a leading partner - you'll need to be a decision maker.
