I've heard larger rentals dont do as well on ABB, from friends that have both large and smaller rentals listed.Lynn

The buyer's agent has the same obligations toward the buyer.While double-ending a deal (disclosed dual agency) is attractive to the agent, it's not good for the buyer or seller.Here's why;As a seller's agent, I'll push hard to get larger deposits, faster closing, higher price, fewer contingencies, etc.As a buyer's agent, I'll push hard for exactly the opposite.As a disclosed dual agent (representing both sides with their permission), how can I possibly do those things? 

If you buy well, you'll profit.

Ownership would need to change hands and then there would need to be a profit on the monies that the party earns over their original investment/purchase. 

Also add capital gains from when from the profits when it’s all said and done.

The plan was I would help finance and be a private money lender and he is a general contractor that together we would share the profits from a flip or he would buy me out for a rental. 

Most REO sellers will not turn on or allow water to be turned on, or allow repairs for appraisals or before closing, most secondary market loans require all utilities to be on at time of appraisal, minimum 5 years or more roof life left, no holes in walls or flooring larger than a quarter,  or significantly soiled flooring, walls, ect. 

1%Contingent upon satisfactory review of sellers 2016 and 2017 schedule E's, as well as a certified, year to date, Profit and Loss for 2018.

I've seen potential deals and numbers don't make sense or the risk outweighs the potential profit.

At the same time if you are investing in larger or more expensive properties you might open an LLC for each one.
