I have used trusts in the past and it works but haven't used them recently as I just use other methods to accomplish my needs.

Kiran - We took crappy code and transformed it into quality code.

The numbers for this will depend on how much and what type of properties, but I say properties in the 500k range would work.I was wondering which method helped investors build equity faster?

Probably not the preferred method but it works for me.

Remember as an investor it is not the VOLUME and size of the deals you put together because many can be crap it is the QUALITY of the deals you do.I would rather spend a few months doing an awesome acquisition than buying up marginal to okay deals left and right.I have seen this happen on flips and long term holds.In both cases the investor did real well on one property and then started getting carried away.Pretty soon a couple of marginal deals starting to tank their long term portfolio into a neutral or negative position.Even on flips they made good on a few and then the next few went real bad and they were almost at square one again.You have to treat this business like a pawn shop.You will come across many sellers but few will accept your price and terms.So you have to keep going or come back to the seller until they get desperate enough to meet your terms.A classic tactic with a seller is when they will not accept your price and terms.Then a few months pass and they come back to you.Then if you have a couple deals on your plate you come from a position of power.You let them know you are involved with other projects now and to take this property on now you couldn't pay what you offered before and can now only do XX.There will always be another quality deal to be had but millions of marginal to okay deals to get stuck in for years and paralyze the growth and success of your real estate investment portfolio.

Better quality properties attract better quality tenants and your vacancy rate drops.

We all know that tenants use the highest quality labor, materials, and techniques when fixing our properties...hahhahahhahahhahahahah

My thinking is that if we make the same disclosures to the non-accredited investors as we would with them investing directly in the fund and we keep the quality to fewer than 35 we should be okay.

While most other sites would opt to boost their post count, we feel that the quality of post is far more important.So . . . hiring some VA to spin content or write original content that is pure garbage is definitely one of the worst things you can do.BTW - I caught a national REI guru pulling the same thing here as well a few months back.

Whether you say ethics or any other BS in the real world these REO kings and queens have a list of buyers ready to purchase with cash where the REO broker can double end a deal.If the offer is close to what the asset manager wants then the bank doesn't care about double ending.How you level the playing field is to tell the listing agent they can keep all the commission so they will push your offer with all things being equal.It is a classic mistake I see brokers and agents make time and again.The REO broker is only getting a tiny fee on their side and having to cover a bunch of costs listing the REO so getting the other side is huge for them.If you are flipping you will save the commission on the sell side as an agent and you can put 4% co-op to get buyers agents in droves and still save 2%.The price has to be competitive and the rehab quality for the area as always.You can't just offer a higher co-op and then list high to compensate for it.That is another classic seller mistake.good luck
