That's looking to be the plan as it seems there really isn't inventory in California at asking that will cash flow very well given the high land values/investor appetite for appreciation.

The CM approach is a great way to go, and with the clients I've worked with in this manner, I have netted them savings in excess of my fees - it's a win-win in my experience!

This opens him up to all of the rules that mortgage originators have to comply with, for example:Verification of incomeVerification of ability to repayAdditionally, any mortgage in violation of the ability to repay check, or any mortgage with "excessive fees or abusive terms" can be easily voided with no statute of limitations if/when you try to foreclose on property with said mortgage. 

Ottawa's appetite is far too insatiable.

@Rachel Trimble$190k X 75% = $142,500 potential cash-out and new loan amount, not $80k$142.5k - $110k (purchase + rehab) = $32.5k excess cash out remaining after recovering the original investment of $110k. 

The excessive leveraging that went on in the mid-2000s cannot happen again.  

If this is your first venture, you may want to have the appetite & holding power for it.  

Instead you need to focus on what you believe you can get the tenant to do without going to war.On a side note I personally believe that 45 day notice is excessive. 30 days is pretty standard.

Do you want to see 15% CoC ( Ie so you can do a 8% pref and 50% splits of excess ) Do you want to see 30% upside in value so you can do a back end split of 60/40 after projected 5 year return.
