., etc) then I recommend an alternative.

We plan to buy a house once every three months or so alternating who's name it is under.

Running a rehab from a distance is a very tough undertaking.Many will agree that rehabbing is very much a hands on business.The alternative is to find an experienced realtor willing to to help you with all the supervision.

I always assumed if you could get through the paperwork, you would be getting a deal because the alternative in some cases may be foreclosure which would be more costly to the banks.

The primary goal of the deal appears to be a fix and flip, but I was commenting on the buy and hold alternative.

Would be a much cheaper alternative than gutting the whole system and fitting it with PVC.

On the surface they think that it's a bargain & their only alternative to get into the real estate game.

All of the delays on FHA fundings for apartment complexes is pushing many of them to seek out financing alternatives.

I have began looking at condos on auctions because there are no MLS deals at the moment and the inventory is so low that I have begun looking at alternative places to invest in.

I feel as though if you decide to take the investment, that it should be treated seperately from his contracting work on the property, partly for documentation purposes, but also so everyone has clear expectations to responsibilities.I agree that having a stake in the deal would most likely motivate him to pay extra care to work quality and deadlines, but im not sure if you will be able to necessarily get a better deal on repairs from conflict of interest; as an investor he makes more from cheaper rehab, but as a contractor that's his work income.OTOH, if this makes him more motivated to come up with creative/alternative methods for cutting costs, that would help both sides of his profit margins.Is this something you need to make the deal, or just exploring for possible benefits?
