If what you want is a small-time guy, this might be OK.For example - even when we buy something from HD/Lowes, we're getting it delivered.

You will usually not get much of the deal generally just a small slice as the larger JV partner is doing most of the work to entitle the land and develop it.  

I need a small $100K loan for additional cost.

Would be ok for small single family.  

I ended up approaching a small local bank in town and talked to the commercial lending department.  

Small things like caulk, grout, screws, thin-set are the responsibility of the contractor.

@Wesley Robirds - There are definitely still some good small multi-family (2-4 unit) deals left in the Greater Seattle area.

My husband and I live in Portland, Oregon and bought a small condo there last year.

Hello--I have a small self-directed IRA, $20,000.Were it yours, how would you deploy it?

The condo complex has a high number of renters in it which makes it hard to finance with small down payment, so the buyer would either need to be all cash or significant down payment.So does anyone here have advice on how I can find a realtor in my local area who is experienced representing fixer uppers and maybe has a rolodex of cash buyers they can call?
