Unfortunately, I do not have experience in such a thing, but do carry the passion to help make this a free market solution to the housing issues across the nation as well as hold the vision on how to put this all together.

Seller carry, private money seconds, etc. 

I’d give quite a few a call to see if any would lend.I imagine the best path is it to look for deals, partner with someone experienced who can carry the financing and you get a cut/percentage and/or finder’s fee, as well as, starting your track record of doing deals.

Most don't play in my sandbox as it is a GET RICH SLOW strategy and doesn't always carry that quick turnover that the property plays give you.

One company owns everything and does nothing (this is your SLLC a/k/a “asset holding company”) and a completely separate company handles all of your operations (this is a traditional LLC a/k/a “operating company”) For the operating company which serves as your face to the world and through which you do all your business, you establish a Traditional LLC to carry out the operations of your investments.

Owner requires a Owner Carry of 5.5% on Loan with 25% down. 30yr amortized, and 10 yr balloon.  

If you do not want to get lender financing, I suggest asking the seller to do a seller carry or wrap that would allow a high LTV. 

I feel it should be applicable but cant seem how to understand the cost vs return on building/ adding on vs renovating and how certain things like changing zoning could cause changes in terms on things like Owner Carry loans or other bank investment situations.

But we were able to keep the project moving along, so that may have been for the best (carrying costs eat you up).

The seller has a mortgage on about 50% of equity and would like to do an owner-carry.
