Bryce,I've been looking at rental properties, too, and have been using BP's 50% rule as a quick and dirty method of evaluating a property.Basic 50% rule says that 50% of gross rents will go towards expenses like vacancy and repairs.So, 50% of $3900 would be $1950.

Wanting to learn more and understand how to structure different types of deals.

Loved the info on how you've structured your partnerships.

There are many different methods for finding money for investment.

This will take you up a notch from the typical "one trick pony" investor with only "one & done" offers.There are many ways to structure this transaction.

Not 100% sure of the structure for the sale yet as far as using a note & trust deed, option, contract for deed etc.

@Jack TuckerSince I have/had less than no idea on this question, I just Googled real estate private money lenders and at privatemoneygoldmine.com it seems the lenders are at 6% to 10%, but I have no ideas on specifics as to length of term and initial down required.I know all the deals I have seen in the Portland, OR area with Owner financing have been 20% down and 6% for 5 years, with a balloon.Also aren't the terms are what you are comfortable with and how you structure the deal?

Nevertheless, in response to commenters' requests, the final rule provides a non-exclusive list of methods that issuers may use to satisfy the verification requirement for individual investors.The methods described in the final rule include the following:Reviewing copies of any IRS form that reports the income of the purchaser and obtaining a written representation that the purchaser will likely continue to earn the necessary income in the current year.Receiving a written confirmation from a registered broker-dealer, SEC-registered investment adviser, licensed attorney, or certified public accountant that such entity or person has taken reasonable steps to verify the purchaser's accredited statusThe underlined/bolded item above leads me to believe that this guidance is only for reference and one can do their own, independent process provided it is reasonable.

If you structure your holdings correctly you can build to the point where you make money no matter what you are physically doing with your time.Neither is right for everyone.

Modular meaning (modules) that are put together for the finished permanent structure.
