The problem i see with this is how i avoid the two parties coming to their own agreement cutting me out because i've already done my bit.as a possible solution to this i thought if i acted as a property manager and collecting the rent and passed it to the land owner i can charge my finders fee (to the tenant in place of a bond) and take a small cut of the rent. but as you say i don't want to get into the space where i need licencing or something, will definitely get in touch with a lawyer before actioning anything.

My initial thought is that if their is any drilling or modifying or the unit such as running wire, etc. then a licensed and bonded contractor should do the work at the expense of the tenant.

I can trade stocks and bonds freely, the only difference with an investment property is the emotional attachment by SOME seller. in all honesty, I've seen more issues caused by an overzealous realtor than by any Wholesaler, EVER. let's be real, I think these arguments are about some personal issues, if you're jealous of someone making cash then I'll be more than happy to show you the ropes and give you a job. pay is 100% commission:-)

$10yr Government Bonds have seen a nice staircase step down since May.

In others, they like to see the money in a separate bank account, and I forget the specifics, one community was going to require us to purchase a bond of some sort unless we had the funds in the bank. 

Is he going to have a performance bond?

Investments into any form of asset requires the same amount of due diligence and application of skill no matter what the asset class, property, shares, cash, bonds whatever it may be.

Why do you think our govt. bought bonds from itself?

You just need to send 5k for DD or you just need to buy this bond in Thailand etc etc. 

The larger the deal the more units you can acquire and the more economies of scale you can achievePartners will strengthen your balance sheet and banks like that which will allow you to purchase a bigger propertyGood luckGino
