Why would you have a partner who doesn't have any skin in the game?

That's why I want to make sure we both win, not like I'm just paying him a wage.I suppose it makes sense to start out with me 100% in control, and when he has some skin in the game, then we can work out different numbers.

What a lot of investors are seeing is increased competition, both from other investors and owner occupants, and additional difficulty in getting listed properties (especially REOs) under contract.So, you're not the only one seeing this...

In many areas and states policical signs have exceptions to any sign ordinance adopted by any authority, you may have such exemptions in your area, inwhich case the HOA may have difficulty in enforcing such a rule if it violates law.

So, unless the original and reasonable wholesale fee was split between the two middle parties, the buyer often finds out that the deal is no longer a deal only beacause too much is being asked in the middle.You have to ask yourself the simple question, why would these wholesalers have such difficulty selling their deals and why are they not selling after being posted on the web?

This however, would create difficulties for anyone else trying to obtain subsequent FHA financing as FHA forbids loans if a single entity has 10+% ownership in HOA complexes.

So if 10% return on a NNN is what your looking for, that is easy...As the ROI goes up and the risk stays low, the difficulty in locating the deal increases.Areas with little investor activity, and a change in employment are gold mines for both buy hold and flips.

In fact, the reason I got my license is because of the difficulty I had as an investor in finding a good investors' agent.
