Some lenders require you to own property for a specific period of time before they will lend to you based on a % of the actual appraised value.  

The deal analysis that I do for land development is all based on getting a 200% IRR structured in the deal in a 12-month timeline.As far as negotiating JV deals, it is better to very specific.

I would recommend just continuing with your business as you otherwise would, and when you have a couple new deals that those buyers might be interested in, offer it up to them first.But:- I wouldn't look for deals they specifically want, unless they are deals you'd be willing to do otherwise;- I wouldn't customize a house for them unless they were willing to put a large enough deposit down that it would cover having to remove all of their customizations should they not follow through on the purchase;- I would pre-qualify them as you would any other buyer, and not give them any preferential treatment.In other words, go into the deal assuming the worst case -- they will ask you to do a lot of customizations and then back out of the deal. 

Thank you Julie Chenery I will defiantly check that website out.Tim Priebe thank you for the link i will have to check it out.Jim Bowser I defiantly will meet with an attorney and my accountant before I start at this time I am trying to get my marketing strategies lined up and I want to make sure all the names are owned by me so that once I finalize the direction and specific purpose of the company I can roll it all out and I will not have to worry about names not matching.

Is there anyone that does know  about this specific area?

Does anyone have experience in a similar situation, specifically creating an MIO plan?? 

Purchase would be from the R.M. but you would need to verify the owner is no longer in residence (both parties).I would expect all RM's to be underwater and thus never expect any margin left for FMV sale even it you obtained title.

I'm seeing investors taking tighter and tighter margins just to land a deal.

The numbers are very high and if there is any profit margin, I'm looking at around 150-300/month cash flow.

There are many pitfalls of creating leases with specific damage provisions.
