Hi everyone, I'm in the early stages of deciding where I want to focus my initial efforts in REI.

., LOLAs mentioned up there, links to a chain are not welcome in the note business, newbies with a lack of knowledge starting out, asking or demanding guru profits really much up deals.Act as a principal in your name and you can arrange to sell part of a note, netting you the difference to keep in your portfolio.In reality, there will not be any black helicopters hovering over your house.

Parts of it may be staged, but you can still get a pretty good idea of how real estate is bought/sold and/or rented in different countries.

You can spare the borrower credit issues, give cash for keys, or cut any deal you like on privately held notes.For example, I'd make arrangements to take an interest with the deed, allow them to stay or move, make repairs and update then sell and work out a cash for keys deal.....everyone wins.Making lots of money legally and without being a vulture is pretty easy to do with notes.

It was fun for me to work with Rich on these plan as foreigner not simple but was on final stage :).

It's a business arrangement.

Lender points are paid upfront typically, however, everything is negotiable and can be arranged on the back end.As for costs, RE commissions will run you 6% standard and investors should arrange to pay 5% or less.

I'm working on all my rental docs, and wondering if I need to include a standard increase of x%/yr, or if tenants are averse to this kind of arrangement.

if you have no money to invest right now.you can still analyze deals.go to as many Realtors as possible.they will sponsor you to be a Realtor.you investing will improve if you look at deals.Remember The 100:10:3:1 Rule.What this rule says is that if you look at 100 properties, put offers in on 10 , and try to arrange financing for 3 , you may end up buying one.You can learn to write every deal as conitional to you getting financing.When the seller finds out you can't get financing , they may be willing to work with you on seller financing.Now if you can get a seller to finance the purchase for you and you can find someone to lease option the place from you.

Seems like a lot and brings up wear and tear concerns.My questions are:Has anyone had experience with this type of arrangement?
