What's held me back before? 

People that have this trend tend to not get back on track and will continue the move towards later rent or just doing this till they cannot afford it (not pay, or move out abruptly).

One of my biggest pain-points starting out in New Construction that I sought up people to teach me the process... and like you, I was willing to volunteer my time.

I wish I could go back in time and have all of my loans with them.

I'm getting cold feed since I'll have all the skin in the game financially, if something goes south on the flip and he doesn't make enough to pay me back, or we lose money, how will he pay me?.

Hello @Abigail Bennett,Welcome back to real estate investing, and congratulations on making the move to put your equity to work more efficiently.We’ve completed over ninety 1031 exchanges and have a few recommendations.

I will not sue, I would just ask for it back

I know this is painful, but it has happened to the best of us....paying too much to a wholesaler, going over budget on rehab, taking to long on the rehab, and during that time market changes.If your game plan was NOT to turn this into a rental, then don't. 

I would actually be willing to reduce the interest for higher value ... 3 year term Risk tolerance is ok - I do Hard Money Lending so I have felt some pain over the years LOL .. 

The key differentiator is that these models would be constantly updated for things like:Changing mortgage rate formulas and lending rules.New tax laws and depreciation rules.Integration with current data sources for things like rental comps or maintenance costs (where possible).New model types based on emerging strategies.The goal is to save you the hours of building and, more importantly, maintaining your own spreadsheets.I'd be incredibly grateful if you could help me with any of these questions:The Pain Point: Does manually updating your analysis spreadsheets for rule changes feel like a chore?
