This enticed me a lot more than the $150k condos I was looking to invest in at nicer neighborhoods.

With that, i want something that will entice investors to take an equity stake and not a debt position.

You need good design, professional photos and at least a scroll stopper item or two (something that is very eye appealing to entice the guest to look further at your property).- You have to work at filling midterm rentals.

In essence Ive taken a step back and realized the sexy and complex deal structure may not be necessary to entice private lending.

I'm figuring out how to start up my own and get an idea of how many people may or may not be interested and what will entice people to come.

What kinds of deals have you found in Long Beach that would be enticing to those with an investor mindset?

My large LOC was at 6% interest free for 12 months so it was enticing.

That is what enticed people to do these creative loans in the first place.

Saying you will give them 30% of something you don't have isn't going to entice most to assist you.

So, my creative financing friends, please comment on how would I structure a deal that will give the seller a revenue stream large enough to entice him to make a deal, yet still make it work for me?
