- Money for Drugs for Guns for War?

I am looking to network with other Real Estate enthusiast in my area as well as in other locations. 

We recently had a deal blow up in our faces, so we’re a little gun shy and would appreciate some advice and guidance.

I've not had any difficulty filling the 3/2, but feel a bit gun shy pulling the trigger on a single bath. 

Then heat with a heat gun. 

If she comes in guns blazing at $375-400K, then I say take the money and run. 

one I can specifically recall was the seller went and told the credit union she sold the property promptly got a letter from said credit union they were calling the loan.. the others don't recall specifics.agreed properly collateralized investors this is a good tool... like guns or pitt bulls in the wrong hands its a disaster.. and when people teach this its usually because the buyer does not have the money to buy any other way and looks at it as low down way to get into the deals and they have no credit to borrow money.. for well collateralized companies like yourself or us.. its great tool.. for seller highly risky in states that allow deficiency judgements.. would like to think the buyer will just deed it over but that's not been my expeirnce.my experience with these going badwere gurus teaching sandwhich lease options on sub too.. in our state that requires a full foreclosure to cure.. now you have a lessee int he house who is not paying.. you have your middle man who ran out of money can afford to forclose or make payments.. you have the seller usually figure it out when they are getting late notices and their credit is trashed..

We are still looking for our first property but have a few potentials that we are gunning for as long as everything checks out.

I have had a few interesting conversations with 2-3 people in my circle of influence that want to participate in REI, specifically my recent success, but they are both gun-shy in committing to any specific "complex" real estate deal, and have sub-$5,000 amounts they are wanting to commit.Without getting too much into the minutia of their mindsets and arguments, it is important to note that they are willing to give a much smaller amount of money for advertising and, in return, are expecting a faster, albeit, higher risk return through wholesale deals obtained during that time frame.My actual question for you is: have you ever structured any kind of private funding "deal" that officially goes towards your marketing in exchange for a piece of the net profits for (insert time period)?

OSB is $12.50 at Lowes, and I was a roofer 20+ years ago as a kid and know it takes a nail gun and about 60 seconds to install a sheet of OSB because I've done it.
