Hello everyone,      Im just starting to get my feet wet with analyzing MFP's and was wondering if there are any sources of sample scenarios, or transactions, that can be used to get the basic understanding of how to read the numbers and what works and what doesn't work. 

Too often, the classes that teach you how to make money “flipping properties,” neglect to tell you about ALL of the costs involved in a rehab project: Realtor Commissions: Because the seller typically pays the realtor commissions, this could be the largest chunk out of your profit on the backend of your transaction.

The Commission take steps to clarify the cunent ambiguity in broker-dealer regulation by determining that persons that receive transaction-based compensation solely for providing names of or introductions to prospective investors are not subject to registration as a broker under the Securities Exchange Act. 2.

I believe they are very versed in real estate transactions, out of the Philippines.Any suggestions?

My only caveat that I'd like to share per my broker is that listing agents tend to underestimate operating expenses so if you're planning to conduct a transaction without buyer representation, make sure you know how to properly analyze the property on your own.  

In general "escrow" is an account which is meant to hold funds until a transaction is complete or something along those lines.

I did my first deal on my own when I was 19 ( I closed on my birthday) and during my first year of investing I closed 6 transactions 2 Bird dogs, 1 wholesale, 2 hard money loans and a home purchase. 

So with high appreciation, you can seller sooner without the transaction cost eating all your profits.

@Timothy HoodIf you will be forming a partnership, or even if you choose not to form an entity and simply joint venture into transactions, you would really want to have an attorney help you out.
