My prior post is only representative of a small segment of the market and only pertains to the institutions in the specific area I mentioned.

And I'd draw a distinction between total amount, what you want to keep for reserves, what you want to use as a down payment, etc.

A 5 bedroom will work for one segment of the travel market, not for a single, couple or family of 4 or 5. 

There is a short term rental segment of the forums.  

The valuation and market value of a multi family property differs from a single family and you want someone that understands the distinctions if you go that route.

Every market segment will have its own experience as it reacts to the new rate environments IMO

Good topic covering the distinction between negligence and gross negligence. 

It is very segmented, but the right areas of the city really excite us as investors.

You all need to go after motivated sellers, not just off-market sellers.FSBO are all about offmarket, but most of the time FSBO want market value.So to answer your question, and to be more helpful and of value than you think...here is what you need to do.Distinguish off market sellers, from motivated off market sellers, because this distinction in your marketing efforts will make ALL the difference when it comes to  results.Then reverse engineer your strategy based on the behavior and distinction of those motivated off market sellers.So if you understand what I am saying here... your question about "templates" is wrong.It is not about where do you find templates for off-market deals... your question should be, where do you find  motivated seller off market deals... because when you know where they are.. you don't need no stinking templates.You just need to explain how the process works and the result...well:If I had a mic, I would drop it right about now.Good luck my handsome feller!

If the contractor/partner is bringing in capital to the deal, you may want to consider a structure where he/she plays two distinct roles.
