And i NEVER sign up for forum sites.

Has anyone had any luck hiring outside reps or bird dogs to find deals and sign up short sale sellers?

Maybe a bonus commission on successful flips or an hourly wage for writing offers.I know that there are those that will disagree with me, but it is time and work to put in offers for investors and too frequently that work pays very little or none at all.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,I am a new investor in the "DMV",I've been listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcast for about two weeks now, and finally decided to sign-up.

I'd give $10 option payment.An added technique is an Equity Split.You lease w option from seller for $319K at a reduced rent (get 20% spread of market rent and the rent you pay the seller).You guarantee him a minimum profit of 3% ($9,570) when you sell plus his $319K.You tell him you will add a bonus of 10% (you could offer more) of your NET profit at closing, which will be a minimum of $2000, which ever is more.

Claw foot tubs are a big bonus if they're in good shape and you have modern fixtures with them.

The appreciation is a bonus, but I did shop hard for a long time to buy under market and match my family's needs and desires.As RE investors, don't we have the knowledge needed to make money on our primary residences?

The minute I told him about it he said: If I buy it, a bonus/finder's fee is yours.

I am not apposed to flipping, but for the most part my goal is to shoot for a solid monthly cash flow with with appreciation and building equity as a bonus.

Say in 24 months.so the sellers make more money with a sales price in the future.The rent will pay down the mortgage.If the rent does not cover the mortgage, you can charge a rent payment plus an additional monthly option payment.You as a RE Investor will sign up the Lease Option Seller in the name of your LLC as the tenant buyer, and then you will sell your interest in your Lease Option for an Option Release Fee.I shoot for 3% or $5000 min.I will finance 50% of the fee for the right Tenant Buyer.I hope that helps you a bit!
