If you just want to know how to get a hard money lender to lend 90% on a deal then start out with getting 80% first, gain some experience, and after you have the experience they will more likely lend up to 90% if the deal has enough spread.

The option costs you $5000, and the Option Agreement states that the owner of the Option agreement has the right to buy the property for $100k, within a 3 year period starting from the date the OA was signed.2 - You then sell that same Option Agreement to the end buyer for $10k...which then gives the end buyer ownership of the option Agreement, and the terms within that agreement.3 - The End Buyer now has ownership of the rights you had when you owned the Option Agreement.4 - You made $5k on the spread between what you paid for the option originally, and what you sold that agreement to the end buyer for.5 - The current owner/seller of the property has no idea what took place between you and the end buyer. 

The rent, and the sold comps help establish the profit and the cash flow by setting one end of the analysis...the "exits".However, it doesn't mean the spread between the expenses (rentals) and the available cost to buy (flips) works for profit and cash flow.What I'm saying is it matters to the buyers and tenants, that it matters to.So, how do we as REI know? 

Not sure the logic here, if she’s concerned about her rash spreading or what - bottom line we need to make the W/D public.We’d like to do the following but wondering if anyone has any legal or other feedback on this plan:Write a second letter that says they have a choice, either sell us the washer dryer or they will be disconnected and we will install new ones in their place.

Is this outdated advice from 2005 before social media and email was so prevalent?

Once you take out short to term long term capital gains on resale for a developer, commission broker costs, legal costs,etc. breakeven is about an 8 cap and then developer sells for a 5 to 6 cap typically for a 200 basis point profit spread with a newly minted lease in place.If it's Chick fil a or Mcdonald's those can go for 4 caps.

If the owner(s) are local and you have had no luck reaching them by phone or social media, knock on their door. 

Just think of the bank's perspective: they are in the business of generating loans and borrowing money short term (deposits) and lending out long term and collecting the spread.

@Wayne Brooks  bob Diamond and a few others are hitting it hard on social media.. 

Not sure if they are all in VB, or spread throughout.
