I like to do this when I buy:30 year 10% note, 2 year balloon or renewable at new term50/50 equity split after sale if I flip

Brett,A few of us in Georgetown meet a couple times a month for lunch.

Speaking of meters, most likely some of the lights and outlets in the basement are split (or all) connected to one of the existing meters.

Let's do lunch one dayI may be able to shorten your learning curve :)

Should it be so, I am looking into joint venturing with a funding partner : 50/50 splits on the rental income and on the eventual sale of the house.

Or give you a leg up on a partnership to split up the risk load.  

I also did a lot split and now own a vacant parcel next to it where I will build two more units in the very small or tiny house category.

After the 8% is paid, the sponsor and investor split the remaining amount.The profits are split 80% for the investors and 20% for the sponsor. 

Splitting deals sucks.Lastly, you don't get some assistant or Lackey, you get me.

Ask lots of questions (people like to talk about themselves, especially when they're successful) and if you can build a rapport, perhaps set up some lunches (you pay, of course). - If you can build a relationship with a successful investor who specializes in wholesaling, ask him if you can intern for him for 6 months.
