Offer them a 5-10% profit sharing as tie breaker.

@Carl Brown I think we are starting to see some of this transition in the 63112 zip code. 

I would like to get your opinion on how to structure our specific scenario: we plan to purchase property with cash (using private $), my fiancé will live in it during the flip (~ 8 mos), then we would like to keep the property as a rental, but pull as much cash out as possible to pay her Dad back including his profit.

I’d eat up all my profit in rent in a mortgage but I’ll be able to add some great value and hopefully get a 18 unit or larger building with the leverage. 

I've bought a couple deals from wholesalers, and it works out, but when I see the assignment fee that I'm paying, it just makes sense that I should go out and find my own deals--I'll have way more equity and my portfolio will be way healthier in terms of profitability and equity.There's a lot that goes into finding one's own deals--marketing for the leads, following up with the leads, getting them under contract. 

A 1K profit?

We were thinking that multifamily is better because when one tenant transitions the property is still making money.

I’m in this for the long haul and the smaller than expected profits.

If I buy 10 mobile homes in Mobile Home Parks and buy & rehab for a total of $5k and the turn around and sell them for $20k and finance for 60 months in a 2018, what is the profit I pay taxes on in 2018?

I do this in tax year 2018, what is the profit I pay taxes on in 2018?
