I'm currently working on scaling up quickly through purchasing large SFR portfolios and/or apartments, and I'm in preliminary talks with a few sellers willing to carry back a seller 2nd note of 20-30% (i.e. the down payment).I'm looking for a lender that will move forward in financing the initial 70-80%, in 1st position, alongside a seller 2nd of the remaining 20-30%, totaling 100% CLTV.

One way to save on the negative carry is to delay the purchase until the very end of permitting.

Back in the day we carried a balance of $100,000+ that was owed to us and that is now down to only $10,000 or so and we only cover out of pocket if it's an emergency.The PM must have sufficient reserves to do the necessary maintenance work and shouldn't be chasing landlords for money.Just my opinion...Also, a PM's number 1 profit center is maintenance up charge.Landlords don't have much insight and PM's nickel and dime to death on those.If you are suspicious, ask for a receipt so they aren't making up non existent maintenance.Let them make their money tho and calculate that into your expense pro-forma.Otherwise, manage yourself and deal with the $#%^@ that comes with it lol.Multifamily in Ohio, you can get for $25,000 - $35,000 a unit.Drop another $5,000 - $10,000 into the turns and rents should be North of $800pm.Decent area's also.Personally, I wouldn't get out of bed unless I'm making the above numbers.Wishing you much success

Additionally, they may include a carried interest or promote structure on the back end, which serves as an incentive or commission if they exceed performance expectations.Limited partners (LPs), on the other hand, simply invest capital and remain on the sidelines.

So, carrying on here... 

You can strike Gold or be dead in the water.

They are pushed into future years or, in IRS jargon, carried forward.

If the seller can offer a 15% Seller carry in 2nd position, this is doable.Happy to connect!

And exactly that was starter RE in the day.we marketed 50.00 down 50.00 a month owner carry LOL of course rates were 10 to 20%..

And the one tenant that is paying is gold.
