I tried 2 separate banks that told me they would hold the paper, but neither wanted to lend and said it was the self-employment history that was the issue.Any ideas on how I could find financing for this?

You be the money guy, let them take the headaches on the Section 8 properties.You might consider the paper game, buying notes and flipping those for a profit, that's easy and quick and your returns can be easily doubled in a year.Speaking of paper, I shyed away from mobile homes, but financing them with park owners and finance the owner.You're in a good position to do several small deals in a partnership.

You just need to be clear that they are buying a piece of paper that should be giving them the right to purchase something.

It all works on paper until you implement it in the real world and run into a hiccup.

I have Curt Davis to thank for encouraging me to go with a nicer property even if the numbers on paper don't look as good as low end properties.

I take pictures of all the trouble areas like sinks and toilets.

The only reason I ask is because I plan on partnering with the builders and possibly the investors, splitting the profits when the houses sell.In my mind, I have an idea of what needs to be done but getting it down on paper is a bit harder.

Why take real (non-paper) losses via high leverage when you can just buy more cash flowing properties, make more money, and pay the IRS a portion of it?

I made a point of checking the autopay service for the bills that I pay online to make sure that there's no paper intermediate step that could get lost.

So from what I can tell it should be usable but I also know not to take anything as gospel until the papers are signed.
