No matter who it is, RAD or another group, please do a lot of research and make sure you are working with someone who has a track record and is able to connect you with references.

When you say the suburbs, are you referring to Jackson, Plain, North Canton, etc?

If you’re referring to the “newbies” with $10k to their name that watch a video by Pace and get excited and pay for joining, go out with their last $5k and do a sub to with a “desperate” homeowner without revealing all the possible consequences (because they are unaware of the consequences through lack of experience and lack of knowledge and or choose not to inform the seller) then I agree, it’s probably going to turn out badly for all concerned.If on the other hand you’re referring to a seasoned investor with excellent credit, significant cash reserves, who wants to add a property to their portfolio without going through loan qualifying, and can pay enough to give the seller “walking away” money because of the low existing interest rates and or, and is dealing with a informed seller, then I find nothing wrong or negative about the transaction.  

The Deferred sales trust is an installment sale ( not to be confused with a Delaware statue trust or what Thomas is referring to above as a 30 year monetized installment sale). 

I am not making anything by referring you. 

So I would ask what you care the most about depending on the type of deals you do.I do think checking references and reviews is important as that's sometimes overlooked and some lenders are notorious for switch & baiting. 

Hey @Christopher Morris,I piggyback on some of the others, but I'd connect with a referred lender ASAP to go over your options/budget/pre-approval.

Greg If you are referring to hare money that is not what I used. 80% was financed through the bank and 10% debt held by the seller. 

I refer to Sb13 and ab2533 as proof that the state legislature wants safe unpermitted units to be occupied.  

@Teri Feeney Styers the slow flip method that I think he is referring to is the one coined by Scott Jelinek which is buying a livable property using private money on a short term (typical 60 month--like a car) and immediately marking it up 2-4 times and selling it on a 30 year term using a land contract.
