Based on my limited experience, it looks like a good deal that I should go after.

It was a huge loss for me so far with family in.

I'm no expert on the matter but if you are limited on information on the property to access what kind of cash flow it can produce I would stay away.

Then you're limited to more owner finance deals, which can be harder to find or sometimes overpriced.  

In fact, I can't make it through a whole episode anymore without fast forwarding or turning it off.I think it is partially due to the frequent changing of hosts and the loss?

It will prevent you from flipping it to a normal buyer because they will not be able to get title insurance until the statute of limitations expires for claiming an interest in the property.

However the downside risk is you could also experience lower returns, or even a loss, since your risk isn't spread across hundreds of notes. 

Here's where it gets odd.Jack wants me to be the sole borrower on the property, on our joint project.Jack wants me to not tell the bank about my source of rehab funds because it'll "complicate things with the bank"The bank has capped my borrowing limit at $250,000, which is above the necessary $295,000 to do the deal.As a workaround, Jack will be the sole provider of rehab funds (personal funds, cash)Jack wants me to give him one of my personal checks so he can write future offers.Is this a strategic way to expedite the rehab-lending process?

@Michael Le, @Michael Niemeier, @Bill F.According to the Greater Houston Partnership, despite a negative 10,000 in domestic population in Houston in 2017 (mainly due to oil/gas job losses), there was a positive 43,000 international and a net positive 33,000.
