As I'm researching properties for us, I'm left wondering how this transaction will go down and how I'd pay him.To make numbers easy, let's say we find a $100k MFR and we want to go in 50/50 on the $30k downpayment as well as the subsequent mortgage on that property.  

It wasn't super easy but it also wasn't that hard. 

Sometimes a bank has extra rules, we call these "overlays", but you should be able to find financing relatively easy without having to season those funds. 

Account Closed I would say as a beginning note investor that your question on returns is not an easy one to answer and the note industry is not like more popular real estate arenas like buy and hold or flipping where there's more literature and information to find out about it.

This should be a quick and easy question. 

It also lays over slight imperfections in the floor with easy and hasn't popped or shifted yet! 

The tee-time reference was the best part of your post and is actually quite probable and very typical.How people accept this as normal and explain away what should be extremely quick and easy is beyond me. 

It's to easy to verbally just throw out numbers with no time or energy into the deal.

I plan to offer a very discounted rate for incentive, allowing them to see how practical it is and how easy it makes their life!

Trust me when I tell you that its not easy to find quality properties that give you any double digit returns.
