However, the numbers are there to tell a story.Now - most people, as Brent suggests, go straight to the numbers, and from the numbers extrapolate the story.

Do NOT try to go around the agent to get straight to the sellers while they have an active listing contract with the agent.If you do get the offer accepted, watch your own back in escrow and trust but verify (good idea always). 

The kids may just need be "scared straight" to show that you are serious about your property not being damaged.

You may not get a return though.I see where these equity deals have higher returns, but I feel they have more risk since there is not property that you the lender actually own, the fund owns them and the fund is subject to other fees and corruption since there are more variables than a straight up debt deal on 1 property.Am I wrong?

Hi Everyone, I'm a big believer in trying to simplify things, and I love the idea of controlling property without owning it.Just curious what everyone thinks of using a long term L/O with very small Option fee and no rent credits to control property, but then just straight renting the house for cash flow rather than doing a sandwich L/O.I'm not sure if the spread would be too thin, but my thought was I could do a lease for the PITI amount and then cover expenses up to say $200.  

Chase bank will take straight cash into your business checking.

But on the plus side the budgeting options are straight forward was well as forecasting.  

It just may not be as straight forward as I initially thought.

I am looking to move in straight after my lease.
