Other lenders offer asset depletion, for those who have substantial net worth but still prefer to take a loan instead of paying cash.There are lenders that offer one or two variations on the regular Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac guidelines in exchange for higher rate and lower LTV.  

Seems like there is a variation of this theme on this thread.

For example, I recently played around with accounting for variation when modeling property appreciation (a simple metric that I started with).

There are a lot of different variations of wholesalers out there, just like there are in any business.  

However, there are annual contribution limits and penalties for early withdrawals before age 59½.SDIRA (Self-Directed Individual Retirement Account): An SDIRA is a variation of the traditional IRA that allows you to invest in a broader range of assets, including real estate, private placements, and more.

There are some variations of this. 

Not sure how you'd do that in this case since you're in SF.There's all sorts of variations based on how much value each partner brings to the table, up to and including the investor buying the property and giving you an equity stake - you just sit back and get a check when it's sold.As for splitting profits, it really depends on the risk involved.  

I almost feel bad asking this as variations of this question has been asked many times.

You purchase a bond for am amount set by the state, so if the owner comes back... they are assured of some value if you blew the notices etc... turn all that into the state and they give you the title... not every state is the same... some require a public auction... or something else that is a variation of these steps...

In Nashville, where my other properties are located the typical management fee is as mentioned 8-10% of gross rents, however, what I do see a lot of variation in is the "lease fee" the percent of the first months rent to procure the tenant.
