Any real estate professional knows..it's not closed until it's closed. 

Initially my draw to investment real estate was buy and holds to build a legacy for our children (one of our kiddos will need finances covered for him beyond my husband’s and my life.

This deal is based off a real tax deed auction property in FL:1912 Sq ft 3/2 SFH in Bay County- ARV: $415,101- Estimated Monthly Rent $2,984- based off 6 comps within a 1 Mi radius.- Adjusted Purchase Price/ Max Bid: $210,840.80- I start with the 1% rule (thus why I start the analysis by looking at rent) and then adjust the price based on the potential pay-out from a cash-out refi and equity position on the property- more on this in a second. - Potential Investor payout (15%): $242,466 - Rehab total: $76,480.00- I just used $40/ sqft for an estimate.

Let me know if I can be any help as I'm a real estate broker from Sacramento region.

Totally agree with @Michael Thach that you need a real estate attorney and a real estate CPA.

@Bryan Hancock @Michael Timothy Unfortunately, real estate crowd funding platforms do not raise equity for deals where the property cannot be identified in advance (bulk SFR or funds).
