Good afternoon BP,I am PCSing to Idaho soon and in my search for a Duplex in SE Boise or Mountain Home, I'm concerned that most properties seem to have tenants in place on leases that would continue past the 60 days within loan closing, 60 days being a reasonable time to occupy according to the VA.

Im not really looking for cash flow per se but long term capital appreciation.If I should be looking at other kind of housing (condos, multi family etc) I’d appreciate any tips as well. 

@Daniel HymanOur property manager sent us a w9 but we haven't formed any legal partnership per se.

@Jeremy KerrProps for stepping out of your comfort zone.To be honest, your worth in this particular deal is whatever the experienced large scale investor thinks it is (assuming you have no finder’s fee written contract in place.)Ballpark estimate in my opinion is that finding the deal might be worth 5% to 10% of the deal pending structure of the deal.If the large scale investor is a person of character and integrity, he should provide some form of compensation given your relationship with this person.My suggestion would be to not focus on the compensation per se but try to learn as much as you can from this person during the evaluation of the deal.

Most likely outside of Austin in Pflugerville or SE Austin.

Both are in SE Wisconsin.

Technically wholesaling isn't investing in real estate per se.
