Myself and other members of the Seller Finance Coalition were up in Washington DC at Capital Hill this week meeting with Senators to gain bipartisan support for HR 1360 (The Seller Finance Enhancement Act).

Our L/O offering was unusual in that most owners/landlords using L/O before 2010 saw it like you do as a revenue enhancement tool rather than a 'normal' alternative financing method. 

Two alternatives: (1) ask your Sponsor to provide you with your estimated percentage ownership and calculate the dollar value from the purchase price - it's better to go with purchase price over current value from value-add activities, unless an equity event has lead to a bank valuing it higher - and (2) connect your CPA and Sponsor and ask if they can collaborate on coming up with an investment valuation.

The Gantt Schedule is used to manage the overall project timeline, contractor start dates & completion dates.For small day-to-day tasks I use checklists & a Task Manager tool to manage task due dates.All of my Project Schedules and Tasks feed to an Overall Project Calendar so I can see all of my schedules and all of my tasks for each project in a Calendar view so I know what my Contractors are doing on each project and see what tasks need to be done internally.Flipping houses is a very repetitive business so being able to save Schedule Templates or Task Templates is also important so you don't have to recreate the wheel for every project.Here are some tools I would recommend checking out:Trello/Asana/Zoho Projects/Basecamp/Clickup/Monday.com/Workfront - General project management software that includes tasks, Gantt scheduling, calendars, project forums, document storage & team collaboration tools. 

In addition, any custom home renovation requires collaboration with architects, interior designers and kitchen designers.

I have been working with two guys so we would be collaborating.

The city, county or state housing authority that issued the note lends the loan proceeds to a borrower to finance a multifamily housing community that has affordable rents.Because it is a direct placement with Freddie Mac, instead of the purchase of credit-enhanced bonds, it is less costly and more efficient.By Erika Morphyhttp://www.globest.com/news/12_1145/national/multi...

Always ofcourse in collaboration with an architect who is doing the due diligence checks so you know for sure you can get it.As a foreigner it is as easy as for residents to get a mortgage, the only thing is that non-residents can get up to 70% LTV mortgages (80% for residents) and for tourist rentals it normally drops a bit more to around 60ish% LTV.

I don't get those touchy-feely presentations, but I'll periodically collaborate with someone who does (and who's not into the numbers).I also throw myself into situations sometimes where I'm a fish that's out of the water.

I could ask auction.com and insist that I have my own closing and title, but with the timeline of auction.com and I think it may perhaps sour a relation that does not need to be soured, because it would involve a collaboration with them, two closing, fees, amending contract, having seller agree to amendment of collaborating with another closing, etc. etc. etc. finding that balance without needing to sour anything really, I dont see the need for that.
