They gloss over the actual REI experience only to have people pay $10k for it when you could have simply put it into a property and learned on your own to gain experience.

Makes sense, I appreciate the insight! 

This has been tied up in court and does not really have an end in sight at this time.5.

Whether it’s sharing ideas, insights, or exploring opportunities, I’m all about building relationships with like-minded investors.Looking forward to contributing and learning from this incredible community.Best,James That’s impressive what you’re doing.

Seller will be taking a 30k+ loss with this route.325k with 50K down to seller, 3 years of payments $1600/month, and a balloon payment of 215k at the end of 3 years.Benefits to me: (1) 10k less downpayment, (2) with the conventional route, the loan would be at 228k after 3 years of payments, so I will gain additional equity with the 2nd option since I will owe 215k (presumably I will have to refinance at that time).Benefit to seller: she gets over asking price, 50K upfront and $300/month of cash flow.Does this offer and structure sound reasonable?

These individuals have often walked the same path you’re on and can provide insights that save you time, money, and stress.

And while these groups help you a lot with the actual strategy, the best part is the network you'll gain which pushes you 10 times further then googling all the free stuff.

This also lets investors manage maturity dates, guarantor exposure, market exposure and other factors.We service loans on our balance sheet and manage construction draws for all loans we originate.I am happy to answer any additional questions or provide additional insights.

Any insights or creative ideas would be greatly appreciated!

At that point in time, we can just list the property and sell it. we have long-term capital gains rather than short-term capital gains, we would have probably experienced some appreciation during that time.
