discussed a concept called a SAM (Shared Appreciation Mortgage) whereby the seller would agree to sell their property at a price (usually lower than FMV), and then would participate in the future appreciation of the property.

You might consider structuring it as a participation loan.

I was hesitant to participate in the forums because I didn't want to be an annoying newb who asked the same question that hundreds before me had asked and I didn't want to put myself out there when I might flake on this new venture.

@Joshua Dorkin - the mention above with "undefined" - maybe it happened due to the person being mentioned not having been a thread participant before the mention was made - I did not type the word "undefined" after the name there ...

I appreciate everyone who is participating in the group and I would be grateful if you could continue to spread the word about it.To your success!

I am a willing and able participant in learning and making things happen so if you would like to meet up let me know!

Turns out all 3 of these properties are all inherited estates, and the heirs just don't know what to do with them.We are continuing our education by participating more actively in our local REI club meetings.

It would be great if these could be included as I have noticed a lot of threads slip by that I wanted to participate in, but was not warned about them due to this situation.

I would like to work side-by-side them to learn the wholesaling business and possible participate in their deals, and to find deals of my own with their guidance.Any thoughts on how to start my search for these wholesalers?
