I recently purchased my own primary home and I have been prospecting to get my own fix and flip deal.

https://www.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/news/2019/08/05/nm-city-ranked-one-of-the-best-places-to-flip.htmlI've always got my eye on the next deal of which there are more than I can handle on my own. 

So hopefully that gives you more ways to negotiate your deal with your seller.  

I guess what you do next somewhat depends on how your deal is looking, and what your holding costs are.

Separately I have a non paying tenant I am evicting which will cost me c10 months rent but that is another story and buyer beware in dealing with NYC tenancy and housing laws - advice is hire a lawyer from day one of nonpayment.Two questions for the forum:1.

A lender is not going to be eager to loan on a property to an individual who isn't on deed (one of the complications of sub 2 dealing with title insurance not IRS). 

The best advice I can give, is create a bulletproof contract for yourself via a good lawyer if possible.Sounds like a viable deal if done correctly, but far less headache if they can just qualify on a conventional loan.

I have been working with him to find deals, and manage rentals for a while now.

One strategy that has consistently brought me success is seller carry financing and creative deal structuring.

Here is the next deal, Adjoining residential lots for sale as a package on Mt Carmel Rd totaling 1.46 acres.
