My question is how do I work out a deal with the owner so that I pay him back over time the equity?

I would not lose sleep over this.

. --- We haven't seen a S8 inspection report in over a decade that required a tenant to fix damages they obviously caused.

But I guess an investor must be willing to sit down as we go over the three ways to protect the money they put in… just stumped is all I’m saying. thanks for the insight!!  

@Clare Pitcher we do 12+ month leases to avoid vacancies Nov-Feb.If we take over an occupied property, evict or have tenancy-abandon a property, we first let the owner know finding a tenant will take longer than "normal".This opens up owners to understanding they may need to:1) Offer 3D tour and floor plans to stand out2) Price more aggressively or be prepared for aggressive price reductions3) Offer MoveIn Specials:- NOTE: we do NOT recommend offering a month of free rent that can be used at MoveIn.

Many of my decent wholesalers present failed flips for someone else to take over.  

It only becomes complicated when investors try to over complicate or over think everything.

I actually prefer some of these search and map features over the MLS.And those that think they can save $$ on commissions will be disappointed.

The median price in the greater Austin MSA increased 2.4% to $435,000 over the same period.

There are small communities in Texas where the 3 or 4 small brokerages in town just keep a list between themselves or have created a Facebook group among themselves to promote their listings.I have run across a few Brokers over the years that just worked with buyers in the purchase of HUD/VA foreclosures and were not Realtors and therefore not members of a Board/MLSHowever, in any MLS that I have been involved with if the Broker is a member of the MLS, all of their agents are also required to be members.
