Want a win win!

As far as private lending and seller financing go, I am beginning to look into those more so as I discover the difficulties in obtaining a bank loan.

A lot of times we discover the things we want to do from observation and interaction with other people.  

Or at that point it is what it is since they will discover title has changed to my name and there is nothing I can hide? 

Rentals are one area where the little guy can still compete with the mega corps and large apt complexes, often winning over some choice tenants with personal service, flexible terms, and small touches...Just a few ways, off the top of my head, that I think we can gain a competitive advantage over more rigidly run large complexes (though all markets vary, so these are based on my experiences)....) flexible terms (I offer a six month or one year lease; of course, most six month folks renew, but some like the flexibility; some large complexes are "one year or nothing" in my market..)) new mats (inside and out of the doors; bath, even runners or area rugs in high traffic area for vinyl plank flooring)...while they add some "wow factor" and look like gifts, there is self interest at work here, however, as the matting greatly reduces wear and tear on my flooring.) pets on approval ( I have some of the best behaved canine tenants imaginable, and their high quality tenant owners stay long term, are respectful, and pay well,yet are often shunned by many "no pets" larger places)) small (tax deductible) $20 gift card at holidays ..

And I'd like it to be a win/win for my partnerless client.Perhaps it would be nice to drop the management fee and take on the ex-partner's work and get a percentage of the equity (5?

I believe in the win / win scenario. 

Now that I'm turning my focus to real estate investing, I'm not contributing very much at all to those, and even plan to take some of my contributions out of my Roth IRA to invest in additional properties (there is a way to invest in real estate w/in your Roth IRA, but I don't want my investment earnings trapped in there until age 59 1/2, even if it is tax-free, because I want to retire sooner).
