If anyone is interested we can joint venture, call me and I will send you an executive summary.

I'm seeking someone to partner with - maybe a joint venture.

Don't worry about joint LLC this year.2.

Ryan Dosseyif you have a minor rehab look at doing a joint venture with the seller, where you give their equity in a note with the payment in full in four months,  with no monthly payments  Look at the difference in these two offers  ARV 200,000 ,  free and clear house ,  it needs $20,000 in work Solution 1The Wholesaling formula is terrible offer for the seller The Wholesaling formula is terrible offer for the seller Solution 2I offer to bring my money in and fix the house, resell it, and pay off their note The mechanics are add up the costs to sell, add in the rehab, add the interest for the private lender money, and add a joint venture fee of  $10,000 If you do the math, Wholesaling offer is about 120,000 to the seller The joint venture with the seller is $148,000 to the seller :)If you market for expired listings that have minor rehabs and they didn't sell because they were not in the right for selling condition, you might go to probate attorneys to find "grandma houses" that need a minor amount of work,  and buy it from the probate attorney, resell and pay the heirs 

One suggestion that was not brought up but that I have a question for is- Would opening a joint bank account with my father help with the technicalities of the "gifting of funds" or would it not matter?

They probably are.Back to damages, when I am going over the lease with the students I stress the term "jointly and severally" and how that means that if their roommate's friend punches a hole in the wall EVERYONE pays for it, I try to make the kids police themselves so I don't have to.

Joint Venture Guru's,Bottom line Up Front:  What's the value of being a co-signer on debt financing? 

Are you keeping it on your single name or joint?

As suggested you can also Joint Venture with a more experienced note investor to began learning the in's and out's of the business as well. 

Was considering 10+ units, would be interested in considering a joint venture with the right people....
