But if the deal is good enough, well, you pretty much answered your own questions.The trick is to find someone reputable, who won't change the terms when you get to the closing table, and who won't set you up for failure by funding a deal he knows is likely to go to foreclosure.

There was an unlocked glass french door around the back so I turned the knob and pushed the door open.

Also, you may need to bring your own funds or borrowed funds to the table to close before you sell the LLC which then holds the property.I still prefer the Trust method.Transactional funding - no, not another term for Hard money.

I am skilled and experienced, and have close family that I will pay under the table to utilize their incredible skills.I've got 3 college degrees, a great job thats steady that I plan to keep, I'm stubborn, and have an impeccable skill known as researching and studying.

If these guys have assets that just print money like that, why the hell are they selling it, let alone selling and leaving so much opportunity on the table for equity and cash flow??

A french drain was never installed near the front of the basement which thus caused some serious cracking/bowing.

You will come to notice that the truly successful investors look for transactions to be a win on both sides of the table.

I had a couple of basements done earlier this year, and I had interior perimeter french drain system installed for twice the length you have been getting quoted, price a little under $5K for the one company that did the work.

Regarding what they owe on the property, if you are going to ask that, even if they owe a bit on the property, my mentor has had people bring over $15,000 to the closing table because they were that motivated to get rid of the house.

You have to bring some sort of value to the table in order for these guys to take their time and invest it in you.
