Couple quick facts about me:28 years old.

So an owner can quickly sell their property to someone like me that can buy/sell properties that need full rehabs. 

We typically come in and "face-lift" buildings, while keeping them safe and occupied by the tenants.

Jumping on deals quickly and having a sound offer strategy is key right now. 

However, I am still pondering this decision as I am a safe person.

If they don't ask for more info, they aren't interested.An "after the deal was done" spreadsheet I did for an investor is at https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/600/topics/58...Every deal is different of course, but you want to look for a Safe investment (cash flow or flip, etc) that has returns that are greater than they can get in their current investment.

Expect quick growth especially if there isn't much competition in your community.

On further thought you could back into a similar setup by pricing it a tad high but indicating you're willing to talk about the price for the "right fit" (don't get specific) or if it doesn't rent quickly. 

if you like the deal just bring in the required equity and close.. not sure what the issue is.. unless your capital constrained and if its that tight then you may rethink the whole thing as stuff happens with flips.. you need a really good amount of reserves to be doing this safely.

Does the investor want a % of monthly rent or do private money investors only want to invest in flips to make their money back as quick as possible?
