A broker knowing what you are looking for Is like a needle in a hay stack could look for months and months and not find it as people are throwing out multiple offers.Buyers have to be ready, willing, and able to buy AND I will add realistic.

Great response from Jon.If you borrow the funds needed from someone you know, you can record a second lien againstbthebpropertybto provide your lender a security instrument.

I keep the utilities on when it's vacant, once you secure the tenant usually they can just contact the utility companies to have them transferred into their name.

I know the guys working Colony here (WRI), and they are terribly overwhelmed and throwing people in places that wreck them and move out owing money in a few months.

Would love to meet up and throw some ideas around.

Look around you, 80% of your classmates are tenants.You probably signed your first lease, Wrote your first security deposit check.Fought with your landlord, or most likely got yelled at by them.But I digress If you are on school take a finance, accounting, marketing.

Keep the government (and your family) happy by staying out of trouble and making sure that you're not holding the home as security in the "financing".

We would provide short-term no- or low-interest loans for the acquisition of SFRs, secured by the home.

There are probably hundreds of how to books but nothing beats real life knowledge and live advice you can get right here.First option which is the best option in my opinion is to keep 100% of the ownership and equity, keep the investor in a lender position, secured with a note and deed of trust which pays investor set interest rate (I typically pay 10%-12%) and you keep all profits.Option 2 would be to give an equity share where lender gets paid interest plus has some % of the equity.

Its just not worth it chasing people for money it seems like throwing good dollars away.
