You want to confirm with the owner that they are in good standing with their portion of the rent.

The property itself is the smallest portion of the deal and they use their skills to "manage the managers".

I'll provide the know how and connections and they will manage the purchasing/Forestry management/Logging/Milling/Marketing portions of the business. 

You only need to go to the post office to sign up for Bulk Mail Rate and they will tell you how to put the trays together.When you use a direct mail company to do your work for you and when you let them purchase a mail list you end up wasting a huge portion of your budget.

I personally really like the minisplit systems where the interior portion is mounted in the ceiling.

I am interested in getting into multi-family houses or apartments using a portion of my current equity.

I think it was the vandalism portion (not positive) that went up.

You should consult with your attorney about it as well as an underwriter and MLO since it appears a portion of the payments are going to provide the buyer an equity interest and therefore make sure you meet FDCPA, CFPB, RESPA and consumer finance laws.These are very High risk for both parties- for example if they trash the place and walk away, you basically will have very little recourse and could be stuck with a home that needs a lot of repairs and is underwaterFor them if you were to ever stop paying the mortgage the property could be foreclosed upon and they lose everything they paid.This is why I would not recommend this type of arrangement

Good for you- many investors don't realize how vital rapport is.

In terms of returned capital, once a portion of your initial investment returned, you will most likely receive pref (if one is offered) on the remaining capital.
