Setting up a refinance with an escrow would be fine, but if your ARV is only 75k, then most groups would do 70% of ARV, which after your 7500 payoff and closing costs, puts you with an escrow around that 40k mark. 

@Mark Pruitt If you're looking in CR, maybe @Grace Griffin would have a recommendation for you.

They can help you see where you missed the mark and that will help you screen deals to find the right ones.It sounds like you have skills that can work to support a JV deal. 

@Mark F. 

@Menelik Rowe you should connect with @Mark Ainley.

He was never even a good salesperson (pushy sales tactics are often taught by gurus but simply don't work for most personalities, Jordan Belfort of all people called him out on this during an interview that was very revealing), and his real estate syndication funds are now rumored to be total scams (he allegedly buys the properties separately beforehand then marks them up millions before selling them to his fund using his investor's money, like a wholesaler basically but taking $50M fees from investors without disclosing it.

(Say having 4 bridge loans out at once) Maybe trying a direct mailer and see if you can get a property under contract without a wholesaler bringing you a marked up deal?

Most investors opt for the skeleton versions that truly miss the mark and lead to convoluted amended and restated agreements that cost far more to correct than simply paying for the agreements to be drafted by a professional at the start. 

Hey Mark!
