In case your interested we crafted a unique solution for this one, outline below.We revised our contract with the Seller to $90k purchase with an extended timeframe (luckily they were open to this) to accommodate the traditional buyer.  

Its a whole other topic but this is an example of why it might be beneficial to be licensed. 

I would like to introduce myself and start an open discussion on a few topics.  

You'll get a wealth of REI knowledge and learn how to take full advantage of Bigger Pockets (including how to connect with other investors).Listen to the podcasts , get active on the forums & set up key word alerts to be notified when people are discussing topics you're interested in.Check out the webinars, they are very informative, and there’s usually a new one every week.  

I never suggested that "a short sale is somehow worse for a seller than a foreclosure", which isn't the topic anyway.

@Diogo Ferreira I am no expert in this area but I found a thread that may help you.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/77/topics/164...I hope this helps 

It was pretty much a case of where expectations and indeed responsibilities, were not explicitly outlined and documented.

Mostly what I have read in the past on this topic doesn't break down actual ownership percentages (vs capital invested) or rate of returns.I know these are sort of preference related questions but I would love to understand how other investors have structured deals in the past or how they are going about them now.Thanks again!

I think I ended up with a couple of different topics.

I just saw this forum post recently that might give you some motivation.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/26...I would also start listening to all the podcast.
