I've never done one personally but my understanding is it involves the home being put into a trust, with the sub2 purchaser buying the trust from you.

Going this route is more involved and that makes it more costly too.

I’ve been involved in real estate investing for over 30 years, so if you ever have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out.

I read the fine print and found that the 90 day guarantee and how to get the $1,000 invested back involves actually sending him 2 qualifying deals.

There's many other options in real estate such as syndication and note investing depending on your level of involvement. 

As others have said, you will get lent more money usually with rehab involved than on a straight acquisition loan.

Prayers to all involved

i invest via 50/50 partnerships. i find/coordinate/manage the deal, and my partner brings the capital to the deal & approves large expenses. on their end, it's just about as hands-off as investing in a syndication, but they get to be one of just two main 50/50 decision-makers. and when there are just two parties involved in a deal like this, vs it being diluted across tons of investors, i find it's also possible for the capital partner to see much higher returns. when it comes to teaming up in real estate i'm much more relationship-based and less transactional. i'd rather do fewer very high-quality, carefully selected deals, each with just one capital partner, so that i can really serve that person's best interests and get us amazing results, vs. doing a bunch of diluted deals. i also feel a lot of syndicators out there are newer to the game, lack experience, haven't used their own money enough, and don't use their investors' dollars with enough caution. it gives the high quality syndicators a bad name.

We are experienced and have never involved anyone in our projects and have never used a loan outside of a conventional mortgage.

I am very involved in our local real estate investor association and agree that in this central Florida market there are an over saturation of STRs as well.
