Since you'll be looking for a house to live in (primary residence) you'll get better loan terms/interest rates than if you were buying it as an investment property.   

I’m willing to not make any money off the first deal if the investor is looking to work with me long term.

We would love to connect with other investors who have done creative financing, rolled equity over, done battle with loan limits that are so unrealistic, or even moved their money out of state?! 

I renegotiated a Lease with my first property a few months back and pretty much stuck to the same terms as the prior lease agreement (minus rent increases). 

.- Investment Term: 5 years - 10 years- Equity Split: Investor 80% / Sponsor 20%.- Preferred Return: 8% annually to the investor.- Profit Sharing: After the preferred return, profits are split 70% to the investor and 30% to the sponsor.- Management Fees: 2% of gross rental income annually.- Acquisition Fee: 2% of the purchase price.- Disposition Fee: 1% of the sale price.Option 2: Debt Financing with Equity Upside- Target Properties: Single-family homes, multifamily properties, and land for development in prime locations.- Interest Rate: 6% interest only for a term of 5 to 10 years- Prepayment Penalty: 2% if the loan is paid within the first 3 years- Equity Upside: Investor receives 30% equity of the appreciationWhich option do you think is more attractive and why?

If there were any written agreements between the developer and either realtor, the terms of those agreements would come into affect not that complicated.

Educating your borrowers about loan terms and financial planning can go a long way in building trust and satisfaction.

If they acknowledged you had a verbal agreement before, just have them tell the tenants they made a mistake and sign a new lease with you as the landlord, same terms.

Based on my research so far it seems the most easy to find CRE mortgages are short term (up to 10 years, though amortized 25-30), but I have also seen people repeatedly state that you CAN find longer term CRE loans.  

These loans are typically the "cheapest" and have the best rate.
