I was recently approached by someone who's successfully completed a dozen equity sharing deals.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The inspection companies that we use are extremely detail-oriented and we use that information to renegotiate contracts or to determine it's not going to be a good deal.

Hi I currently got under contract for a hybrid deal in 44120.

I do believe it will help, giving me access to the MLS and can run comps and have knowledge of the market.Also, will be looking to house hack and buy and holds if I can get all the pieces to fall together.Will be attending meetups to network.Will be searching for my own deals with some local realtors.

Just not worth dealing with because there are better options out there. 

Hi everyone,I'm pursuing a deal on a mixed-use building in a prime location.

You need a bucket of cash for reserves, emergency repairs, or leverage to find/buy/create a good deal.

You don't need to, especially on deals that just make sense, but it's a good inclusion if you already have your underwriting model in Excel or gSheets because you can use all those variables, once filled out, to auto-populate various Sensitivity/Stability Analysis charts.Here's what I have for Multifamily/Rentals (all auto-populated from the model):On Fix & Flips, I only include the ARV Stability/Sensitivity Chart (this is the entire model, stability analysis at the bottom):Since having these built out, it's something I mostly just glance at after underwriting to make sure everything looks good.

Becoming a Key Principal (KP) in other people’s commercial real estate deals is a great way to shelter your income, participate in several deal at the same time, minimize / spread out risk, capture equity w/ a preferred double-digit return at a discount cash-out-of-pocket investment.
