The ideal candidates is usually the person that is older, risk averse and doesn't want to be an active investor (ie they would rather invest in mutual funds than stocks).Originally posted by @Michael Leffelholz:Patrick, Just a thought- What about a targeted mailing to financial advisors in your area.?

Michael, Hard money lenders and private lenders are ideal to help people finance difficult situations.

However, it is not ideal for more complex communication.

I deal with professional investors that invest in $100,000,000 + office buildings.

Ideally, you should structure this so you don't start making payments to the owner until you have received a payment from the tenant.You still get CASH FLOW!

I have no ideal how it's leaking since I'm not near the property.  

Please see the picture for any ideal which would be great.

@J V. this is for 1 property and ideally it would be a fairly large property.

Now, I have certainly heard that painting treated wood is not ideal.  

Focusing on the economics of the area as you described- increasing rents and new inventory into the market- your property is primed to be an ideal long-term hold.
