One of my favorite ways I partner with Private Money folks is seen in this example:- Purchase price of $90,000- Rehab budget of $30,000- Estimate “carrying costs” of $5,000- Closing cost to purchase of $2,500Total cost of project including EVERYTHING = $127,500IF total cost of project is less than 75% of my bullet-proof After Repaired Value prediction then I will walk through this fact and my evidence with my finance partner and ask them to fund all or a portion of this.IF I use a bank loan for the purchase and rehab costs, then I will invite a financial partner to fund the carrying costs, closings costs, and the down payment amount that the bank requires.  

I do sometimes mark them as a favorite on Zillow because often times auction houses show up on the MLS.Most of the auctions don't work like one would expect an auction to work in that the thinking would be that people make bids and the highest bid gets the property.
