Many sellers have backed out at closing (legally bound or not) once they see the money they could have made on their own.

Let’s do the math now…… financing a property that cost $5 Million dollars with 20% down would require you to put down $1,000,000 and you would still have to add in legal fees and closing costs.

I wouldn't be cheap when it comes to the legal side of a partnership agreement.You can probably use some standard partner agreement from Staples if you're looking to go low end, though.

Where do you get the contracts and how do you know if they legal?

Here (Chicago) you must legally provide a fridge.

Does the neighborhood feel "comfortable", not too many cars parked on the streets overnight, not ANY cars parked in yards, lawns mowed and not messy, they don't have to all look like yard of the month, but "pride of ownership" shows through in all socio-economic classes!

I have also spent a bunch of money sending out letters and getting the legal papers sent to my home so I may be the first to get the letters to these homeowners.

This will list every legality and tell you what your rights are, what his rights are and empower you greatly.
