(investor)You are the conduit amigo!!!!

It seems to take in everyone that takes title or passes the rights to title through any conduit or entity.

Most long term commercial lender money from conduit and other sources you are talking 1 million or more in loan so would need a sales price of about 1.3 million.

With partnering we can get away from local, regional, credit union banks that want to give a short term loan, a lot of money down, higher rate, etc.Example the typical best loans from CMBS, conduit, pension, life insurance companies, private high net worth mortgage lenders start at 2 million loan balance and up usually.

You also need to be careful taking ideas of what others might do as they may not be correct and what someone does in NY may not fly in TX or OH.Your #2 when financing is actually paid by a third party in an installment or purchase contract to a second party and the second party in turn pays a mortgage owing by the first party and the third party receives a purchase benefit, that is "conduit financing" it is a pass-through arrangement.

Water meters, conduit, everything.You have to calculate some of that stuff into your expected return.I would think you would do better as a Hard Money Lender on NOO properties at 70% LTV instead of 97% LTV on owner occ.

I'm looking for contractors to do some underground boring, installing conduit and cabke pulling (small low voltage wire).Any help and recommendations appreciated.

One slip is like renting an 6' (3' on each side) X 20' deck on floats anchored.....we will see....I just mess around now, having partnership interests and note/conduit relationships with seasoned business folks, those I have known for years.

Yes, it's regulated and yes, it's not as easy as it was, but it is a fantastic profit center.In areas where you have an REI club, any group of investors could participate in a financing entity as a conduit to do business.

A church is a specialized area, ther is a national brokerage for churches as well as religious financing conduits that you might search for, a church is really not down the alley of a commercial broker unless they can get a change of use type client.If it's really a residence, non-compliant ADA bathrooms, etc, you may need to clean the place out presenting it for what it should be. :)
