I’ve been chatting with a fund manager about our performing notes.He asked a question I hadn’t heard before...Would we be willing to buy any loans back if the borrower goes 90 days delinquent?

I have a good credit score, but I'm concerned that given I'm going to have very low provable income for the next 2-3 years and not be able to secure a loan especially with a low down payment.

Make sure your listing stands out and highlight the value to maximize low season opportunities and justify your total pricing. 

W2 money is the easiest money you can make so you should take advantage of it and use it to fund your business and then quit once your business is established.People more successful than I have espoused both views, although I lean towards number 2.

But they require following a lot of corporate formalities, and funding the LLC with $50,000. $800 a year in franchise tax fees is my no means sufficient to buy liability protection from a determined litigant.4) Would you hire an environmental testing company to test the land (to which you have no legal access - but I doubt the dead guy would call the cops on you) once the foreclosure process has progressed well enough, but before it's conclusion, so that you tell the lawyer to stop foreclosure in case some major contamination is discovered?

They then decide if they are willing to list with the agent.If you have substantial capital and can close quickly, with cash, no inspection you might be able to do what you are suggesting.But a bank is incentivized to get as much as they can, with the least amount of hassle and they will believe their real estate agent before they believe you on numbers, closing time, availability of funds.

Failure to have funds for maintenance results in maintenance not being done and that leads to problems like structural issues.

It appears that the appears that very low investment minimums are a key selling point. 

If you pay back all the upfront capital needed to fund the deal, the return becomes infinite after that, so that plays heavy.  

@Devin Cutler I've had lenders tell me the funds cannot be used for things like "business purposes", "educational uses", and "new property purchases".
