This is a land owner's market and the property is owned free and clear.The members of BP that have posted a response, you included Bill, have supplied me with the points I need to map out and run a successful in depth investigation - My Thanks to Karen Margrave, Will Barnard, Brandon Turner and to you Bill, and if you, or anyone else has more input, by all means, feel free to add your "dimes worth" as well.With Appreciation,Jeff

What hasn't shook out yet is the tremendous over supply of rentals coming to market due to the funds.

I did 90% of the repairs and rehab while he supplied the money and helped as much as he could (he was legally blind and a bit older than me).

Supply / Demand and the Shadow Inventory: In a report published on May 30, 2013, "Joint Report on Federally Owned or Overseen Real Estate Owned Properties By U.S.

Has anyone had any success with forming partnerships, where one partner would supply all the financing (house cost/material cost..etc.) and the other partner did all the renovation work for flips or MF rentals?

The data I have so far does not really show supply vs demand as I can see, so I will have to get that at location I guess.

Here is the latest for example: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/03/21/feb-existing-home-sales/2004761/orhttp://www.thenichereport.com/breaking-news-2/finally-more-homes-for-sale/All of them say that "professionals expects home values to end 2013 up an average of 4.6 percent and rise cumulatively by 22 percent, on average, over the next five years" and that "the supply of homes for sale is beginning to rise"My question is how can it all influence REI and how in general should everybody analyze when to buy and when to wait.And i would also love to hear your predictions.Thanks in advance for your reply!

I sure you don't don't see it in places where it freezes, but since it's totally temperate here, water supply and sewer lines are often installed on the outside.

I would supply the cash for the initial purchase and rehab, he would do all other work involved.

In 2 weeks we start marketing and I have already started networking with brokers.Next up:I want to raise $3MM in private funding to acquire apartments (not exactly sure how to move forward with this one but have been spending a few nights a week networking in places I hope to meet them)Glad to hear people are still doing well with supply tightening, and thanks to BP for the support!
