The person who will lease the restaurant space would like for us to go in 50/50 on another opportunity once we figure out if the numbers will work on that deal.  

However, I have a trustworthy and reputable private lender that is willing to fund my first few deals.

If you find great deals, now’s the time to buy.

They seemed to just rehash the WSJ article but put a more negative slant on it, and probably drew some info from the Real Deal article too.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Again, I am trying to practice and run some numbers on potential investments and would like help since I am just starting to learn the games of real estate and underwriting deals.

Almost got a place in Tuscany back in Feb but couldn’t quite come to an agreement on deal terms. 

The only reason I will buy cash is to try to get a better deal, and then right after, I can refinance to take advantage of the interest rates.I am trying to figure out what makes more sense in Gastonia?

The second buyer will pay 150K cash after appraisal.I assuming number 2 is the better deal.

Know what everything costs, be ready to jump as soon as you spot a deal, and be creative enough to make it look good.
