@Mark Ferguson I saw the video on your blog of your latest flip.

My mentor / business partner who is showing me the ropes in RE is starting his own property management business after being in the real estate game for 13 years.He is offering me a job in said property management business as an on-call maintenance person, and also said he can pay me to do yellow letters for him (I currently send out a lot of them for my own investing purposes).He said he can either pay me for each letter, or a 10-15% commission on income from any leads I generate (so if I land him a property that he makes $150/mo on, I would make $15-$22.50/mo on each property. 20 properties = $300-$450 / mo total).Either way, he will pay for all the material and postage- so I'll just be taking care of the rest (printing, packing, sending).

I'll be honest, I am a little nervous about doing that first sfh deal and I think that's mostly because once I do that it's no longer just talk and numbers ... now i'm in the game and have the responsibilities to sink or swim.

Anyhow, I couldn't make any deals from my first list because it was too general and thus, there weren't any people calling because they were motivated or distressed.Now, in this second attempt, I was watching instructional videos from Matt Theriault from epic pro academy, in which my list now is all pre foreclosed, single family homes from the MLS.

They may require more skin in the game and will probably critique any potential deal extra closely but you will probably be able to find one.

Generally being on the cutting edge of fraud games down here, scumbags haven't tried to in these situations, they just rent them out.

Again, welcome aboard.Things might be slow today a good number are going to watch the game.

1st rule of any lender, skin in the game. no insured lender will give you a loan at really any LTV with none of your money in the mix.Consider a Sub-to transaction. :)

Maybe someone needs to make some basic videos on simple boiler and furnace fixes.

I found these videos from CrowdCheck's site yesterday and they're some of the best material I have found on the net about the tradeoffs and balancing that is going on with the current rules.Title III Decoded: A Closer Look at the Proposed SEC RulesWatch the Second Annual CrowdCheck ConferenceCo-founder Brian Knight speaks on crowdfunding panel at UVA School of BusinessThere is some great discussion on these videos if you invest some time watching them.I haven't found a lot of discussion or commentary on how promoters indemnify themselves.
