If there is enough money to be made perhaps you can structure a win-win and cash out a higher gain when all is said and done while minimizing your risk by working with someone experienced in a development.

So by the time a broker prices to be competitive for "jumbo" loans (where retail banks typically have the thinnest profit margins, to win the business of the 800 FICO $2.5m price 30% down people they can later cross sell other financial services to), that same thin margin by law must also be the margin on FHA/VA, where retail banks by contrast generally have the fattest profit margins (a factor of 3 is not unheard of).Being a veteran and seeing that giant fat profit margin on VA for my fellow veterans, and figuring all this out, was part of why I made the switch.

Just keep in mind that you need to tell them that you are making a win win deal where everyone gets ahead.

Let's help each other grow and make it a win-win situation.  

If not, be wary...if the market downturns you don't want to be stuck forking out cash for a house that you're upside down on.That is my obligatory warning, but ultimately I'm sure you'll be able to sell it next go round, and perhaps you could convince the current tenants to rent-to-own (win-win)!

If you're going negative a couple of hundred a month but appreciation is strong that is a win for me.

You just have to structure it so that it's a win/win and you both are benefiting from it.

Previous year results are there for comparison.Average winning interest rates inched slightly higher compared to the last year, and the number of winning investors was 88 compares to 89 the previous year.I eliminated the "Struck to County" liens which are the liens nobody bid on and are now held by the county.

I'd problably keep one of them for the cashflow, selling the other and doing a 1031 & investing in something bigger, perhaps with a partner or alone.Just do what is best for you, everything is win&win as all of the options are great!
