Here are the numbers: Appraised Value: $250,000I Owe: $150,000 Homes in the immediate area: Selling for $1.3 million I would like to figure out how to strike a win-win deal with an investor/ spec home builder where I get my full value of the land (once the project is done) and a small percentage of the overall project profit

Hi, MatthewThank you for your advice.Finally, my friend decided to sell the property after everything is fixed up since he wants to be released from lots of stress...Leo 

Initially he started doing is own bookkeeping and after his 2nd deal he said " If you can help us everyday, I will take your challenge to cover your fees and you and your firm can be our CFO"Challenge - Buy 5 properties and sell or rent at least 4 in the first month.

A handful of lenders will allow partial releases (meaning if you sell or refinance one of the properties you will be okay). 

I walk by your house all the time and just wanted to check in with you to see if you have thought about selling now or any time in the future.

hypothetically speaking, If I saw a distressed property and I contacted the owner and he is willing to sell me the house for X amount.

Will sell everything and invest there. 

Don't have to fix them up or do one thing to sell them. 

Still deciding if I will rent to own or sell to an investor.

They refused to repurchase two from me, which had me worried, but I ended up selling each of them for 30-40K more than I was going to sell to them for, so they did me a favor... poor decision making all around.
