I know I funded over 2000 of them on the front end   LOLBest you can do Is get a construction loan from a local lender who allows you to build in an interest reserve.. but even then best I can get is 90% of cost... there are no zero equity deals unless you find a very hungry HML or one that did not get burned in 07 to 2011

Bring on Toilet Overflow calls at 2AM.Knowing I only learn after I get burned, we are incredibly interested in learning from your experiences!

It didn't make sense to the point I labled my article I wrote on the subject, how I crashed and burned with an llc.

So for brokerages it's a lot of hand holding in the beginning and training which is why they take a fat 50% off your first 2 to 3 deals generally.If you show over time you are a performer with closing after closing the split can improve to 70/30, 80/20, 90/10.Heck there are even brokerages that charge a flat fee per transaction but your just  a number and forget about in depth guidance.Best thing you can do is usually find a top performer to emulate and attach onto to learn from.You could also just sit a subdivision and sell model homes.

Lets face there is usully a burn rate involved in the start up phase and we look for a realistic game plan to work with or adjust to meet necessary expenditures and grow into their plan.

What if the home burns down in that time?

@Robert Burns I'm sorry I can't opine on his program, I don't know enough about it. 

There was a case in Ontario where the tenants had a fire pit and one of their guests fell into it, thus being severely burned.

I usually do my own, but now have a friend buying who got burned on his last inspection, and wants someone experienced and thorough. 

It can be done, but in this case it sounds like you are trying to get awfully fat for such limited skin in the game...
