I am an LO at a DSCR lender known as Easy Street Capital.

Top tier investors talk about billions of dollars over breakfast.The big differences in the various facets of RE is in my opinion:Agent, wholesaler - jobs.Flipper, L/O wrapper - small business ownerBuy and hold, notes - investor.Have a quick google for Kiyosaki's "cashflow quadrants".

That is why it is imperative to have a great LO.  

A LO gives the buyer the option to buy the property after the rental agreement is fulfilled.

If the interest rate is fixed and the loan is older then seven years then thats fine too.You may want to L/O with a TBD purchase price this over selling sub2 or selling with a payoff.CongratsI am going to add that make certain that you include required occupancy repairs when figure your cost to entry.

Because we buy houses deeply discounted, or we get them with no-money or lo-money down, the risk on these properties is very low.We secure your loan with a first mortgage.

I have reservations about this structure, but it may come from inexperience with l/o format.

Nothing came about because I was in a L/O and had 5k down.

If sellers are getting the same marketing piece from you as they do from every other jo shmo then yes it will be hard to land a deal (also I am talking about equity deals not LO's).

It isn't really any different than what would happen in a LO arrangement when the tenant exercised their option and purchased.
