The general distinction is the level of sophistication and what they charge.

We have all been too well educated on the 50% rule, the 2% rule, the opportunities in the Mid-West and Texas, etc. so we will be looking for bargains.If you find a less sophisticated investor who underestimates the expense of having a property, you could get a pretty good price for it.

Is your target tenant likely to have only a month to month mind or will they be a little more financially sophisticated?

Singapore is more sophisticated financially than NZ but the latter is much more beautiful and has better climate if you prefer cooler places.

You are limited to raising a max of 5 mil per 12 month period.Using Reg D exemption rule 506 You can have an unlimited number of accredited investors and 35 sophisticated investors.

offer price = $34K monthly payment = $250 100% seller carry back (most sophisticated investors won't go for this) . . .

So what if...If it was a cash buyer, then the buyer likely would have been too sophisticated to pay too much.

Walk first before you try to be sophisticated beyond your experience.

A more sophisticated way it to create a reserve chart. 

That might require a higher level of sophistication in your pitch.Good luck!
