...that was "Spanked me" into submission.And, the only reason I did not subscribe to his newest, Mortgage Assignment course is that it would be just one more course that I don't seem to finish.I did however make one smart move tht Phil suggests over and over; I have joined the local REIA, and that, too, is motivating me to finish the Premium course, learn how to use the deal anaylizer [shame on me some more] and get out and MARKET myself.Thanks for listening,Gentle Ben-New Orleans

Advice needed about strategy for opening sober living homes...
12 May 2018 | 7 replies
Complete noob here, so please be gentle. :-)I am in the process of setting up a 501 (c) 3 (paperwork has been filed...just waiting for IRS to do its thing) that will operate sober living homes for those in recovery who need safe and affordable housing.In thinking of how to setup the homes, I am thinking of two separate strategies: either raising enough funds through grants to purchase properties, or leasing existing rental properties.If I can't buy properties, one of the issues with possibly leasing properties is if I decide to lease/rent existing properties, they would need to cash flow for us to sustain the nonprofit and its mission, so there would likely need to be significant rent concessions made from landlord (for example, a 50% concession, ie rents normally for $2500, rented to nonprofit for $1250, so we could then rent each room for $500 a month and possibly cash flow).I'm hopeful that I could find landlords who would be open to an arrangement where:1) A 3% to 5% non-refundable downpayment is made to landlord in exchange for 5 year guaranteed lease/rental agreement2) Nonprofit agrees to pay 50% of all needed repairs (due to occupancy) to property during that time3) In exchange, landlord gets stable occupancy, gets a tax deduction for the amount of rental concession made (would likely be tens of thousands of dollars) and is not on the hook fully for repairs and maintenanceFully open to hearing opinions or suggestions...am I thinking of this in a way that is possible?
