(goes to paying investors initial investment back).Any additional yearly return is split 80% going to investors, 20% going to Sponsor.At sale, investor is made whole on their initial investment.  80% of remaining funds go to investors, 20% to Sponsor.I've typically been targeting annualized returns of 18%-20% or more back to investors, though that is getting harder to do as the market improves. 

I'm working on a situation where I physically cannot wholesale this deal at a profit, so I'm actively searching for other avenues...APV: $125,000Outstanding Mortgage: $100,000 (was a $200,000 loan)Is there a way I can structure a deal with seller financing so the buyer I find would assume the remaining mortgage and pay a down payment of $10,000 ($5K to seller, $5K to me)?

Also, a qualifying spouse can remain in the property until they pass or sell or refinance.Yes there are negatives like your equity shrinks, because you are using it and you need to see if this financial tool fits into your financial plans and lifestyle. 

Not legal advice, but my understanding: The CA version of the Safe Act remains silent on most seller financing.

If the property has value that makes sense, you can buy the partial interests from the siblings and then attempt to settle with the remaining owner.

Then determine ARV of the house --estimate rehab costs --you are a rehabber --so get good idea -- then get survey done --separate 5 or 10 acres you want for your self with your house -- buy that much for $130,000 and balance of the price for the remaining land.

Hello Bill,You would essentially wrap the remaining bank balance into the offer you are making the motivated seller.
