You could also try to go direct to seller yourself and structure the deal in a way that works for you- if you are not to familiar with the strategy it may not be the best way to get your first but it is a great way to get started. 

My question is, what is the best way to structure my investors contract so we all get paid when the deal closes. 

Considering that I would be shelling out at least 300k to build a house, removing these structures would be a fraction of the total cost.

In your example the landlord would pay for the roof and all structural improvement repair.

The other way to structure your plan is to not use the VA loan and do a debt service ratio loan.

Individual investments start at 75%.Next question, what is your debt structure.

I’ve been mentored so far on how to build rapport, but seeing if I could structure a deal with someone from a meet up Is genius

If anyone is willing to pay it forward and point me in the direction of an expert who would be able to guide me through creative options for company structure, ownership, operating agreement, etc. based on our specific circumstances, I would be most grateful and delighted to return the favor in the future. :-)

I'm here because, like many others, I lost my job in the Insurance industry due to Covid-19 last year, and since then I've been conducting freelance (technical writing, 3D structural design) work to earn an income.

Curious how some of you would structure this deal or what would make sense to offer.
