Learn with me, help me, will try and update this post as I go, hopefully to not the end that so many do (including myself) of falling off never actually building or buying. 

Everything else is just background noise.And one more point: residential real estate prices are "downward sticky".

They offer flexibility in design and can be customized to include a business space.Shipping container homes: While trendy, these can be challenging for mixed-use (residential/commercial) purposes due to zoning and building code issues in many areas.

I have just been including a photocopy of a deposit check made out to a local title company with all my offers presented through my realtor.

I understand my role should include more than raising the initial equity investment and continue throughout the holding period and disposition.Here are my questions:Is Number 3 (from above) a good idea to create anonymity for investors?

Here is what you are teaching others:1.Perform a ton of research on how to generate leads.2.Listen to podcasts on your way to work.3.Question the meaning of life, listening to, and dissecting all that information.4.Find A list, Filter That List, Buy that List, Buy stamps, Buy mailers.5.Handwrite 5000 letters.6.Include a pen inside the envelope for “lumpy mail”.7.Send mailers.8.Experience a short-lived feeling of accomplishment.9.Followed by an intense sense of depression and shock upon receiving a ton of angry calls from said mailers.10.Get a ton of returned mailers.11.Skip trace these addresses.12.Pay for a new set of envelopes mailers and stamps.13.Resend mailers.14.Experience another short-lived feeling of hopefulness.15.Followed by an intense sense of depression and shock upon receiving a ton more angry calls from said mailers.16.Listen to more podcasts.17.Get a “AHA!”

Just be aware that this adds another layer of complexity, and you’ll want to check with both your lender and a real estate attorney to make sure everything is set up correctly.When it comes to terms, owner financing gives you a lot of flexibility:Interest rate: You want something attractive to the buyer but that compensates you for the risk of holding that second lien.Repayment schedule: You can choose a traditional 15- or 30-year schedule, or go with something shorter if you want to be paid off sooner.Balloon payment: Many owner-financed deals include a balloon payment, meaning the buyer pays off the remaining balance after a set period (usually 5-10 years).
