Sure, you might make some money, and sure, you might have an idea for some good strategies on how to win money.

After all no matter who wins any election, financial intelligence rules your success.

I then was able to get a conventional loan easily and I got the rental house that would give a positive cash flow each month that I could not get with my small income, from the banks stand-of-view.We were both happy, a win-win deal.

If I do end up going with private money, what would be a good way to structure the loan so that everybody wins?

We're in Portland, Oregon and very few cases can you hit the 1% "rule", and if you do you have to be creative.I wanted to share a win today that has been in the making for the past 10 months because I think it is a good example of what a low cap environment looks like and what a solid base hit looks like for those that want to invest in small multifamily deals.Here are the details on the property:9-units in an up-and-coming neighborhood Purchase price: $1,550,000Cap rate: 4.5%Average rent was ~$995 and Owner was paying for garbage and water/sewerWhen we took over we immediately had a couple units turn over, which was great because we wanted to get in there to do some upgrades (we do a lot on the sustainability side that include reducing hazardous building materials, energy efficiency upgrades, bike storage, decreasing utility consumption, etc).

Throwing some example numbers, if it's appraised at $100k, listed at $50k, and the homeowner owes, say $35k including all fees, then it's a straight forward purchase and a win-win. 

Why not continuing to bet on the horse that's getting you to the finish line and winning the race for you at this time?

I did not win a bid today.

He is a great guy and has a business model that is based on win-win.
