But when you add up the numbers it doesn't work and you barely make a return.

In a private lender world(I mean less formal, less of a business type approach more of a guy/gal with lots of cash) If you could land a deal to get the $55,000 to buy and rehab, what would be a reasonable return/terms for the private lender to do this deal?

I'm attempting to get the seller a 50k return in the process.

I immediately asked myself, why am I only seeing on BP discussions about MF syndications.The outlook and returns seem to be very similar, and yet seemingly less risky.

You will then be set to maximise your returns.

I am in contact with the owner and he would like to sell as he lives in a different state and has no plans of returning to SC.

Rent covered almost all of PITA and now both sides rented and cash flowing well and getting stupid high cash on cash return (over 100%) since we bought with 3% down FHA loan. 

The house sold at a price where I could not have made the desired return. 

Even the brightest of our CPAs sometimes differ and that's why they sign your tax return!
