A business model that has always made sense to me is teaching people how to find good deals and have them bring them to me for more critical evaluation and execution where I invest my capital beside yours.

Relying on these lists are bogus to me.

***My Out of Pocket $36,909.07Option Fee To Me $20,000.00My Adjusted Out of Pocket $16,909.07******My Cash Flow * $ 982.00 monthly**So, I sold it for $20,000 more than street value, I get tax write offs, I got $20,000 back immediately as an Option fee, I cash flow at $982.00 a month and if they exercise their Option, I’ll get $146,854.63 (minus the $20,000 Option fee) equals $126,854.63 cash along with any pay down during their Option period.

The idea of supporting another investor’s project and seeing a property transformed appealed to me.

They are local to me, but work in multiple states.

I also recently read about cost segregation for my STR, and from what I've read, it seems like something I need to do, but he failed to mention this idea to me when I asked about tax saving strategies. 

I understand that future reservations can’t be directly transferred to me.

Other units are all-in on "the HOA gets a loan".To me, there are two big problems with this:1) I'd be getting penalized with interest when I can easily pay off the lump sum right now.2) I don't want to cosign a loan and entangle my finances/credit with anyone, ever.They insist that "it's the HOA getting the loan and not individuals, so it's protected", but like... that sounds wrong.

If you offer mentorship, that would be incredible, but even guidance, advice, or recommendations for helpful (and preferably free) apps, software, or resources to help me get my first deal would mean the world to me.
