This can be determined by doing some very thorough DUE DILIGENCE before you pull the trigger. 

But, I would insist on a 5% down payment, a $200 per month rent premium that would go towards their equity, a fixed time to pull trigger and they get their own financing and also that they are now responsible for all repairs up to a set limit.

I am new to investing in Dallas and partnerships, need advice in the following areas.....1.

Any time name on the title changes, this close gets triggered, and your mortgage is due in full in 90 days or so.

I am trying to figure out a structure for a joint partnership. the project looks like this....10-12 unitsestimated building costs- 200K per unit (for everything)Completed value of 400K per unitland value is 500Ktotal construction costs are around $2 millionthe land is owned outright by a separate out of state individual.I will be doing all of the development from start to finish and I'll be the realtor responsbile for any sales. 

Hello all,I have been doing quite a bit of research lately and am within a few months of pulling the trigger on my first property.

Now I am trying to get more creative making connections with private money investors, securing lines of credit, partnerships, etc.Beyond financing I think scaling involves getting repeatable processes, building a team (e.g.contractor, title company, lender, etc) and have better deal flow.Just curious how experienced investors scaled...different approaches, different challenges.

Brian G. your best option at this point might be to find someone to co-sign or a partnership to go in with.

I'd strongly suggest getting tight with a local investor friendly lender before pulling the trigger, who will have a conversation with you rather than read a script, to ensure you aren't stuck in that hard money. 

We look forward to building future relationships, as well as potential partnerships.
