That will get better results for you and the homeowner.

I have dealt with a few situations like this resulting from foreclosure in my state.

Start with 1 thing and get good at it IMO.Flipping/Rehabbing will take either cash or a reputation & results.

(painting a rosy picture again).I just don't want people starting their investing career to get snookered into a marginal deal that sucks them dry and crushed their real estate investing dreams.Meanwhile a turn key company has burned and churned another one.It reminds me of new real estate agents entering the business and getting bled dry from businesses selling them stuff the first year until they have no money left.If you are a turn key company then I would have buyers that have purchased and have had great results on my website.Even their name and number if possible.

How does that affect the results?

For me being well situated on finances and looking for certain results from my investing, I'd pick in the following order:1.Low Down2.Low interest3.Longer balloon.

As a result, prices are starting to come down and I'll have to start lowering the price more or offer some deals to bring in more potential tenants.I didn't do a thorough evaluation, not that I could have really.

As a result, I was dead set against the seminar before I even attended it.

Sounds like the estimate from them is based on closing on the 15th, so if another date is used then the numbers will fluctuate.The unknowns are unknown, otherwise the things would be known and itemized on the estimate.Now, if the lender will be escrowing taxes and insurance, then the determination of the disbursement schedule and resulting "low water" escrow balance (1/6 of annual total due to be paid into escrow) tends to move a bit when the settlement date moves.

Capital expenditures are evenly split (this seems like it could be problematic to make these determinations).3) Obtain a straight 5-10 year loan from a private investor, and you keep all the profit and risks above the borrowing costs.4) Obtain a 5-10 year loan from a private investor at a lower rate, and you and the investor split the equity (net sales proceeds minus note balance) when the property is sold in the 5-7 year time frame.5) A lot of the big turnkey companies are combining (1) and (3) by selling the rental to an investor and matching the investor with a private lender that they’ve cultivated.Obviously, option 3 is the only that that is just like dealing with a bank.
