I'd negotiate a split with the other wholesaler in exchange for bringing your buyer to the table.

I exchanged 3 SFR rentals into part ownership in a luxury apartment.

But eventually the plan is to buy properties and hold them to make rental money off them and eventually snowball it through 1031 exchanges.

If the trust already has real estate, perhaps doing a 1031 exchange may work for you as well.

:wink: Actually it's very much a capitalist principle to take money from the government in exchange for goods/services.

It seems to me that the old principle of fair exchange of products and services for money is all but gone.

Look into a 1031 exchange for yourself with a non-profit housing organization.

I can't imagine you will be able to find any money partners willing to accept 1% in exchange for advancing you any purchase money but, you may be able to find a lot of folks that would take an 8% turn key return if they trust you can manage such a pool.

Even an owner occupant is going to want a discount from that price in exchange for having to do the work.

Another thought if you are using the money from the sale to purchase other real estate you might be better off looking at a 1031 exchange.
