I've seen numerous examples where various folks try to make a bad deal look better by throwing in long term appreciation.

I've had numerous wholesalers pass out "property request" sheets that ask about price range, location, and buying criteria.

Each person has to decide the risk/reward of how they want to structure their investments.

Risk/Reward needs to be appropriate.

I've got a ruger red label picked out to reward myself when I hit a certain benchmark in my REI.Tim

Numerous bank errors resulted in enormous windfalls.

This is probably a question for an attorney but had a concept I haven't tried that I wanted to float by you - no portion of the rent going to the downpayment but upon execution of the purchase the tenant buyer is "rewarded" with a fixed figure downpayment?

I then called and asked if they were looking to buy properties or if they ever rehabbed.Both of these took alot of time but the reward for me was worth the efforts.I hope this helps.

Hello, I used to be a wholesale Account Rep for a mortgage bank, but since being laid off numerous times in the last 2 years I have decided to go back to retail mortgage banking and investing in real estate.

We consistently receive 50-60% discounts from banks and have helped numerous homeowners get back on their feet.
