Thanks for the reply.That is an interesting feature.

It's quick, easy and the only writing I have to do (my best penmanship is unreadable-sometimes even by me) is on the check.Agent's offers will have the appropriate inspection and financing clauses in there, but they're designed with the "average" buyer in mind, not the investor.

I read a article on how to become a bird dog.I have all the features of a bird dog just need a few pointers and I will be on my way in search of my fine feathered friends so how to one become a bird dog thank you very much for your time looking forward to hearing from you soon .the hunt is on .

I'm 23, have an educational background in architecture and design, and hope to become a licensed real estate agent by the end of the year.

Hard to say.I tend to design deals so that they solve the problem and have all the investors facing the same direction.

My point is the real profits come from knowing how to design the loans so you really want to be on top of the math.The math is not that complex and there are some books out there.I have seen a number of paper deals where 1 or more people misunderstood how the payments are handled and they had the pay-off amount all messed up.John Corey[/b]

BTW - If anyone else has a helpful worksheet that they would like to share, we will gladly host it and feature it here on BiggerPockets.com!

Our agreement is that after loans are paid off and closing costs are paid.. and I'm paid back my initial equity, res. beneficiary can have 100% of balance remaing .. my initial equity is > $25k, by mutual agreement.Gatten has designed a system that works- and overcomes the limitations and far higher risks inherent in land contracts, lease/options, straight options, 'subject to" deals, etc.

Just the design aspect.I'm wondering whether I should broach a bird-dog/facilitator/coordinator agreement with her.
