My ideal set up is a bunch of people (less than 10) put cash into a pool that our mini REIT would tap to buy properties, probably REO's that we would flip.

Ideally, a lot of equity can be created.

The property should be able to be sold short with an agreement from the bank regarding their future collections actions (ideally, with an agreement stating that all debts are forgiven).This is not a rare occurrence.

This needs to be maintained as an orderly battle of ideals.

Ideally, you would go there yourself.

From the start you want to identify and evaluate the pros and cons of having too many followers, too few of followers, who your followers are, and where they're located.I would start by imagining a list of my 5 ideal twitter followers (5 is just a suggestion) that can benefit my business.

What would be the ideal way to purchase this?

I've spoken to several investors I deal with and they have a much different response as far as working with them.

I deal with all students so I prefer year long leases.

Most of my rehabbers I deal with don't deal with FHA anyways.
