I believe it’s possible to do a deal here on Oahu, but the real question is what kinds of returns are you looking for and what is your timeline for making these returns?  

And a high down payment would be expected for that kind of financing.

At the end of the day it's about relationships...and you and the lender need to agree on what kind of relationship you're going to have.

Depends on what you want and what kind of connections you have.

I'd work out some kind of compensation plan before you start sending them leads. 

I'm not comfortable taking that kind of risk at the moment.Additionally, fix and flip requires knowing contractors and dealing with all the logistics of doing a rehab.

So I am looking to hear stories from folks that are new into the real estate market, who don't already have millions of dollars to invest to see what kind of plan they are implementing.I have considered building modular (not mobile) duplexes, because research says the cost to build per square foot is less than standard stick build. 

Owners who use lease  to options to sell  usually see buyer as kind of Flaky. 

Kind of like a home buyer to live in a house versus an investor holding for rental.Sometimes the owner is putting that out there to try to sell anyway they can and you can still negotiate a great deal as an investor buyer.

I am using Roofstock because I'm from Oregon and it's nearly impossible to find the kinds of houses that are available on Roofstock for the money I want to pay.The house I'm looking at is around $80K.
