He couldn't come up with a way to structure it either, so he will likely accept anything reasonable we give him.  

An investor who accepted to help me get started, asked me to put up the money for the repair on a property that is already purchased (I am not on the deed or title) for a return of 50% of the money I put in (after the property is repaired and sold) and When I asked, what's my security on the money I pay, I was told that we will be signing an affidavit of interest in real property.

He’s received two full price offers and hasn’t accepted because he wasn’t comfortable.

@Carlos Pena No, double close because when an agent/broker sees a contract with an assignee clause they get nervous and will sometimes advise against accepting the offer.

I had no idea I was joining a social counterculture...but there it is, the Times can't be wrong!

BP,     My wife and I just got an offer accepted on a two family that was built in 1960 and in pretty good shape. 

Now that it is rented, yes, it is an acceptable commute for me as a self-managing landlord. 

BP,     My wife and I are going through our inspection report for a two family we have an accepted offer on and the inspector noticed that there are black soot like heat streaks staining above the baseboard heat in the bedroom and living room of rental unit. 

I am finally accepting the fact that I need to file for an extension and work with a CPA.

It puts you in a position of accepting a lesser overall return per project, initially, as you will be paying a lender and a PM (but potentially a greater return when factored as an ROI, esp. when annualized).
