Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

If you want to be an LP on 2-3 deals lets say to get you started, typically GPs are asking for $50,000-$100,000 cash that will be tied up for 3-5-7 years on each deal...of course there are exceptions where maybe you can put in $5000-$25,000, but those are more rare, and you're probably not going to become a millionaire with $5000 investment.My thought is before you commit a big chunk of money is go to one of the 2-3 day seminars probably for $300-$1200 or so and network like crazy.....go armed with a list of questions to ask people. 

Remember, C/D located properties generally appraise once improved for significantly more than they will actually sell in an arms length transaction so you can go to many C/D neighborhoods, successfully complete the BRRRR method but deal with  all of the operational difficulties of the asset class and then fail to achieve a sale figure remotely close to the favorable appraisal  that allowed for the proceeds to be returned through the refinance. 

Back in the day, late 90’s my first purchase was a combo loan of an interest only ARM (interest rates were high then) at 80% LTV with a second loan loan for another 15% (I think this one was an ARM or fixed, don’t remember) and 5% cash down.  

However, that won't work for several reasons:  1) The lender is not going to finance the $15k assignment fee2) The lender isn't going to consider the purchase price in this example to be $150k, they would typically use the $135k price in the original contract, and 3) In this particular example they may not even use the $135k price because it's not an arms-length transaction since it ultimately boils down to a deal between you and your father.I applaud you for trying to be creative, but ultimately what you're proposing isn't going to work and it's going to make the transaction a lot more complicated than it needs to be.

For instance, Choose Chicago (I used to work for them) is the marketing arm for the city and they drive huge pieces of business that will drive hundreds of people into downtown selling out all the hotels and driving prices crazy high.

And 1/3 of the mortgages were ARMs back then that reset high.
