Why would they want to partner with me if we are basically doing the same thing? 

This is basic economics, finance and appraisal methodology.

So, basically I wanted to start practicing analyzing deals.

An LLC is a pass-through entity for one thing so its basically all your money anyways.

The amount of interest paid as a percentage of the loan principle changes.

No different than an office visit you pay for at a doctors office, our expertise and education in the trades is a value to most sensible investors.If basic principles are applied during pre-construction, 9 times out of 10 everyone will walk away feeling good and most importantly with profits earned.

So basically if you buy a house for $100,000 you should be able to rent it for $2000 per month.  

I am basically doing the same thing.

If not, then you can deal directly with them.As a fix & flip person, it basically is the same.

It is my understanding that a basic yellow letter stating that I am interested in buying the house gets a higher rate of return on responses but often times is lower quality lead where as a mailer that has more information regarding exactly what we do for people in distressed situations might get less responses but will be a higher quality lead since they know what we have to offer and that we have a general understanding of their situation and still respond anyway.
