If they do not qualify because of poor credit or income issues compared to being self employed etc there are differences - but typically people don’t qualify due to poor credit and people will seller finance to these borrowers thinking they woke up at a holiday inn and got a finance degree when in reality they repeat their past mistakesRemember the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result

My post is simply an opinion of this partnership model not being all that great for "partnership", or "passive investing", or really any mechanism of employing my capital. 

RE sales slows a LOT to generate revenue find a new investment.  

Then he narrows down to towns that have steady employment, good cap rates, and a shortage of rentals.

No surprise, this, along with job growth (HP is a large employer) forces prices to stay high as demand creeps up too.

For those managing active income streams—like wholesaling, flipping, or even running a real estate business—filing as an S-Corp can significantly reduce self-employment taxes.

However, since I am NOT an expert in everything I assign a value for how confident I am in each estimate and use that to generate a LOW and HIGH estimate value.
