@Caroline Hires Just a thought, from an online marketing perspective, I googled "how to invest 100k" and didn't see any top-of-page advertisers - you might bid on that keyword (or similar), create a short landing page making the case for why investing in real estate with you is a good idea, and how to contact you to chat at the local Starbucks.

Is my problem my broker or are there just not properties that fit this strict deal making idea that I have in my mind. 

I am glad to have a forum to discuss scenarios and ideas in addition to networking.

I did not float the idea of seller financing, but it given the equity position, it may be a possibility.

Just wanting to learn from you all about investing, possibly might have some ideas for rentals if i can learn more in a nearby city. 

Someone can make an innocent comment and it takes pages to point out why something is not a good idea! 

If the tenant doesn't vacate, the idea would be that funds would then be released to the buyer for the costs of a UD or even C4K. 

That's a great idea!

I am trying to partner up with somebody else to do me the legwork would be needed in the future fix and flip transactions i probably will do out of the state when i am absent , including which is the most important thing is to watch the rehab process and contractors progress anybody has an idea how to setup that king of relation and contracting ?

If not, do you have any other ideas as to how I might accomplish this?
