Even if that's the entire profit from the first deal, if you believe this investor has the knowledge, experience and skills necessary to teach you the business, it sounds worth it to me.And clearly he believes he can help you, as he's risking his time and energy with you for potentially no pay-off (if there is no first deal for you).

I have been involved with several investors that flip homes and seeing them be successful has motivated me to braoden my Real Estate skills.

You have skills that perhaps many Realtors do not, it's not really a Realtor's job to fix things, get job cost estimates, line up contractors and make improvements to a property and either you or those you work with do!

Usually lenders are unwilling to lend against a property that's for sale, since they know it is going to be sold and the loan is going to be paid off.

As competitive as this business is, I find the more skilled flippers really do get an abundance of viable deals and really do wash each other’s hands.

If I want to put 45% of gross rent aside for expenses and have $100 cashflow, I could still make a $560 principle and interest payment.I think you have a math error in here:Rent: $1150Expenses: $517.50 (45% of rent)NOI: $632.50Cash flow: $100Max paymnet: $532.50Taking the next step and assuming OO financing at 5% for 30 years:Max price: $99,195And, no, don't add the down payment back on because that would mean your down payment money is working for free.Probably been on the market for so long because the overestimated the ARV and have been unwilling to take the loss.

I just dont see to many options for me that i can control and contribuit with my skills, is there a better way?

Part of the deal with being granted a patent is that your patent must reveal enough details about the invention to make is reproducible by a practitioner skilled in the area.Patent applications can be submitted with a "do not publish" setting, and this will result in the application not being published.

Rents compared to purchase price are lower than many parts of the country, so a real estate investor must really hone their skills in finding properties that work.Evictions take at least a month and often times longer to process.

Also, im of the opinion that I won't be able to control the project cost and timelines.Please, does anyone have a suggestion on how to tie my project management skills with my lack of construction experience?
