@Brian SinclairI don't know if it fits this low-priced deal is a good fit butI like joint ventures with sellers where 70% of ARV is just too low, so the seller always rejects itSo on alternative is to do a joint venture with the seller, give a note with no payments for four months, now you're on title, you fix it, then resell it, and pay off their note when it resellsExample, $200,000 house, 20,000 in repairs, 70% of ARV minus repairs is 120,000 net to sellerFor the joint venture, figure 10% for resale costs or $20,000, add in $20,000 repair bill, add in $2000 in private lender interest, and a joint venture fee of $10,000 for the real estate investorThis is a better result for the seller, netting the seller $148,000

In Commerical Real Estate, the building is worth the income it produces.

I think now that what is happening in my addiction to the many, many, podcasts and articles and books and videos on all things entrepreneurship, is that my competitive spirit, my work ethic, my desire to produce something, anything, of value is stretching me to the point where I can no longer remain in my current state of hum-drum.
