I am a full time executive in the industrial distribution industry.

Ana, the lender doesn't care who is on the title to a property as they will execute a first lien against the property.  

My plan is to learn while I am in school and when I am done, I can hopefully execute a deal myself. 

Hi everyone - My wife and I are planning to buy on a 203(k) mortgage and execute a slow live-in flip, then move after the two-year cap gains tax period.  

Scott's book on Estimating Rehab Costs and I am prepared to invest considerable time and energy into creating the scope of work but in this area, where there is high demand for general contractors working on multi-million dollar projects, it can be challenging to find general contractors who are willing to read a scope of work and put in the time to provide a detailed estimate for those of us with investment properties who aren't CEOs or Senior Executives at Facebook, Uber or Google.

NPN seconds  are a niche that one needs to do as an advanced strategy and have scale.. sandwich lease options like your talking about are frankly fraught with danger and are guru pitchs and coachs who try to sell this stuff so they can sell their coaching.. remember you have all these folks who have small capital and what ever reason they think they should somehow put it into real estate.. when in my mind many would do far better looking to create a business that makes them some real money not just a few hundred a month on the delta while risking cash and taking on massive debt or worse buying sub too and getting a seller all twisted up because you don't have the money to execute.

The numbers look good but the execution concerns me.

Whether or not that changes before we actually execute this is a very different story. 

In most cases, borrowers become compliant and ultimately executing a full foreclosure process is rare.

They are easy opportunities to identify and if the property is in a decent location the competition can be very fierce and many investors are lucky to have a short window of time to perform due diligence and execute a contract.
