The only thing you need is experience a model, and a team.  

The only creative way I can see (obviously not knowing enough details) is an owner carry with you as the operator and a JV partner as the financial backing.

If your looking to invest and learn about notes PPR may not be the right place as they are true mailbox $ and as passive as it gets (which is nice as well).

Also, the state of formation is likely where internal disputes would be brought among LLC members, so if you and a partner and/or spouse live in CA, you probably want to arbitrate in CA if the two of you had a disagreement.

Even though the budget of the project will be about 4 times of where I was looking to start with a fix and flip, MF financing looks very encouraging and a silver lining.

One with low cash, one with some owner financing and a little less price. 

If we hadn’t been fraudulently lead to believe it was a cash deal, we would have not said it was a cash deal and I wouldn't be out $10,000 of EM and a realtor threatening to sue me for their lost commission.I have 25 years in this business and have never experienced the out in out lies this company has continuously regurgitated to us, knowing all along the deal wasn’t going to go thru. 

It's a 3 bedroom house and we plan to use technology such as a smart lock, WIFI exterior cameras, and a smart thermostat.

I continue to look in the Brevard area of Florida - As far as north as Titusville/Cocoa and as far south as Sebastien. 

And a lot of old school GCs may not have the ability to take a CC and may not care to learn how to...Main question is: why do you want to do this?
