Something like:- A percentage of the acquisition fee at closing (so my bonus scales with deal size), plus- An additional kicker tied to reposition/value-add success when targets are achieved.That way, my incentives are directly aligned with both getting deals closed and making sure they perform over the long term.My questions for the group:1.

You can use a variety of Creative Financing such as a WRAP.WRAP – A wraparound mortgage "wraps" around the seller's existing mortgage, meaning the total loan amount includes the unpaid balance of the original mortgage plus the additional funds needed to finance the purchase.

In addition to that, we do monthly visits to our out of state properties & weekly visits to our in state properties.
