Hey Everyone,Can anyone tell me anything about Opt Funding out of Irvine C.A (opportunity Funding)

We are both buyers and private lenders (our own funds) on lower $ ARV SFR properties throughout the U.S. 

Posting this again hopefully I can get some help this time.So Im a realtor/investor and have done a few deals already in the past already and currently work at a real estate fund where I am getting PLENTY of experience.

The home you live in is NOT an investment...it is however your biggest cost.This is a simple math problem.If you put money in a property and leave it there, it is a negative number = Your cashIf you get money out of a project, it is a positive number = your profit or cash flowIf someone else puts the money in a project, it doesn't count as positive or negative = leveraged funds...unless, you have to pay for those funds = loan interest.However, if someone else pays for those "interest costs", they don't count as positive or negative = Cash flowJust apply all the cash moving in and out of your deal(s) to one of the above definitions, add (or subtract) all the numbers as indicated above, and you will see either a total that is positive...or negative.If it's positive, you are making money.  

@Bobby BarlowYou could purchase the property with solo 401k funds provided you have never owned it and later take it as in-kind distribution (pay federal and state taxes on the value of the property) if you want to have access to it.  

4) Why are the investors willing to give away $5000 to a wholesaler in an assignment deal (until I have the cash for a transaction funding deal) when they could find the properties themselves? 

I was wondering:1) What are the terms / characteristics that make a note desirable?

Best is a job with a REIT, real estate mutual fund, real estate equity fund, real estate debt fund, or private real estate investment fund.  

I know I won't have the funds on my own but I'd like to approach my neighbor/mentor about it and see if he'd be interested in partnering, if the deal is good.

We use a PML to fund the 20% of the purchase price needed to make a full package.
