That gives the seller the ability to sell the note if they want rather than wait 7 years.Otherwise a combination of both conventional and hard loan could be done if you can qualify and structure it properly.

The way to ensure that no other loans would be used is through the agreements/by-laws/operating agreements of the entity in title.Other investors could join based on knowing who the other investors were, thier abilities and level of sophistication, might be fine and a good deal.

I wouldn't think that would bother the bank, their LTV isn't compromised, and if it doesn't affect the borrowers ability to service the loan I don't see their problem...?

I thought it was remarkable on a Nov appraisal of my 3 family for $325k that every method of evaluation: rents, rooms, units, GBA and bedrooms, came within a $9k range, less than a 3% variation w just one outlier, replacement being $340k.

Coupled with the custodian fees, the returns I could generate wouldn't be worth the headache.Prosper offers to pay all custodian fees if I invest it there, and because it takes little work, along with the ability to get descent returns, I decided to invest there.See here for lender return distribution: http://www.ericscc.com/stats/lender-return-distributionAs far as getting around usury laws, I'm not qualified to really have an opinion, but you can read about it here: http://www.prosper.com/legal/compliance/I completely agree that I can get less risky investments in real estate or even doing hard money, however, with the low amount of money that is in my IRA, its simply not worth my while to spend too much time or effort trying to deploy $5K.In a few years, after some more contributions, I may have a different attitude about it though.

Saying the owner would allow 50k to a homeowner shows personal attachment, meaning they may not be motivated in reality.They are in no position to dictate who buys, that limits your ability to operate, so you need to work on them as to a sence or urgency.Get rid of the muchers if they are there.After the loan is brought current you can look to a wrap arrangement, a lease/option would allow control, a sub-2 put someone in to make repairs.
