The guarantee of getting paid and a high hourly rate would be what would entice them to use the hourly rate structure over a commission structure.  

It sounds like you’ve got a solid strategy and a clear focus on building your portfolio with multiunit properties, house hacking, and BRRRR.

Once you go above $125k/unit you start to get into the high end areas that won't have very good rent/price ratios and are under the 1% rule mark for turnkey stuff.Neighborhood wise in the city the "East End" is where the most expensive real estate is since that's where the universities and a lot of the hospitals are located.

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

Yesterday I reached several Fishers' City employees and a member of the Nickel Plate Review Committee none of whom had ever heard of Goodin Development. 

There is a lot you need to learn in order to make this strategy work and a lot of ways you can potentially stumble.

Seller will be taking a 30k+ loss with this route.325k with 50K down to seller, 3 years of payments $1600/month, and a balloon payment of 215k at the end of 3 years.Benefits to me: (1) 10k less downpayment, (2) with the conventional route, the loan would be at 228k after 3 years of payments, so I will gain additional equity with the 2nd option since I will owe 215k (presumably I will have to refinance at that time).Benefit to seller: she gets over asking price, 50K upfront and $300/month of cash flow.Does this offer and structure sound reasonable?

To ty Coos county and Bend together brought back memories of a trip I took in the late 90s when Bandon Dunes first opened.Friend of mine in Santa Rosa has a home at Cross Water and a hanger there at the airport and of course a nice turbine twin to put in it.We departed SR for Bandon  played golf that day spent the night at  Bandon dunes  got up early  played 18 holes at Bandon again jumped into his bird flew over to Sunriver got there by 12  teed off at cross water at about 1pm and played 18 holes there.. so may one of the few 4 somes to ever play Bandon and Cross water in Sunriver on the same day  LOL..   

Even if you do find such a deal, getting it to cash flow after repairs and a cash-out refinance is extremely difficult, especially for single-family homes.

They have a bigger single family home and a tiny home on the property, but there close proximity and shared driveway present functional problems that are undesirable for guests.
