Now tracking down these people is going to be my next hurdle.

Hey,You're definitely on the right track.

I have my business, but my overhead is almost nothing and even my current projects don't require anywhere near that cash.Aside from that, I have some stocks and an ING account 8).

They are more work as far as keeping track of expenses for CAM audits, but setup the lease so the tenant pays expenses direct and you're home free.

But just realize that there's a fast track and a slow track.

But you're off track.

We were considering dividing ownership when it comes time to sell or move by keeping track of all downpayments, mortgage payments, and maintenance payments and calculating a strict percentage of property value.Could I please get some feedback on lending possibilities and things to watch out for, as well as models for determining percentage of home ownership in a joint situation?

The prior post is right on target in that you must track down deals where the buyer is ready to sell at a major discount.

That covers my marketing to buy and sell the property and other overhead that is required to stay in business.If you need to make more money per deal as a wholesaler the key is to buy the properties for lower prices so you can factor in a higher profit.

You WILL have vacany and you WILL need to make repairs.Without a track record for the property you will need to make your best guess for vacancy and repair.
