I echo the bias about the RICH Club as well as the Bigger Pockets podcasts.

Banks dont worry about your out of pocket expenses, they worry about risk of loan failure.

Hi Ryan,Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

Thank you to everyone at bigger pockets for being real and helping each other.

I have read a few books here and there on the subject and have soaked up as much knowledge as I can here on Bigger Pockets.

I strongly suggest you read the bigger pockets beginners guide as it covers all of the basics of financing, and the more crazy and creative methods are discussed in multiple podcasts, Blogs, and forum posts.

Hi guys, Been reading bigger pockets for a while now but first question.

Not a good idea for an installment sale unless he can put a 25% down-payment out of pocket.

I'd think you'd have to like him a lot to peddle his 'motivational books' because thats what they are, and put more $ in his pocket like that.

I was just wondering if I was structuring the deal wrong since I don't want to pay them 1% of the deal out of my own pocket, and actually lose money on the deal.
