Perhaps you could recommend any investors that could facilitate this transaction.For the past three years I've successfully studied & been involved with over 400 various industries as a designer & marketing consultant.Currently, everywhere you look people are buying and flipping real estate.It seems everyone is buying a home, fixing it up a little, and selling it almost immediately for a sizeable profit.We read about it in newspapers, online, and there were even television shows based on flipping houses.The flipping real estate business model works great.But here’s the good news for you . . .that same business model works in many other areas.You can flip non real estate assets just as easily, maybe easier than flipping houses.You can also use leveraged buy out techniques to alternatively buy & hold already existing businesses similar to properties also.Through the use of transactional funding I've realized that I could borrow a $250,000 swing loan from a bank, give that to the seller in morning.That would make the business mine.Then in the afternoon I could take all the assets that are in the business that I just bought and raise $360,000 (80% of $440,0000) the same day from an asset-based lender.Then I could take $250,000 of the $360,000 and instantly repay the transactional loan.Then, I'll have a $110,000 cash windfall in my bank account, which I could now use to run the business and pay myself a big bonus.The double escrow basically enables someone to do this: I never touch the $250,000 of the down payment monies put into escrow by the lender.The asset-based lender never hands methe $360,000 check.

The general meetings are typically the first and third Thursday of each month and are a good place to begin networking and a decent supplement to the info you'll find here on BP.My partners and I are fairly new to RE as well, but once you start taking action, it's amazing how much quicker you learn and things start to make sense.

What I mean by that is the first wholesaler obtains a deal and sells it at a very low price and with a large enough profit margin enabling another wholesaler to then sell it to someone who intends to flip it. 

We can all benefit but my best advice is make sure every single person you know knows what you do, Make sure you share your vision, your goals, ways you help families and how them working with you will enable them to be able help other families.  

Not raising your rent annually means that you are supplementing your tenants rent.

This will enable the lender to have more confidence in you.

It is very feasible with most of the scenarios we are presented with by would-be JV partners that some sort of indirect benefit exists, such as enabling one party to participate in a transaction they would not be able to do otherwise. 

I feel strongly that Virtual Reality is the next evolutionary wave in the Real Estate market to enable Agents like myself to show their properties to buyers all over the world. 

In the mean time you can establish a credit rating to enable you to obtain conventional financing later on.Good Luck !

If you need to supplement your living expenses by doing so, then it might make sense.
