Of course. I would sign a promissory note, or whatever contracts the investor would ask. I have no problem putting my name on a dotted line. My credit score is above 700 and I have never had a late payment on anything. The main reason for having an outside private investor is for quicker fundings without the red tape of a Hard Money Lender.

But always always do your due diligence on any investment endeavor. Put your key players involved in the process such as attny, cpa, appraisers and real estate agents.
Have you also looked in creonline.com it's just like reiclub.com?

Yes, the idea is to have an investor who can fund the purchase and renovation (no more than 65%) with cash.
My primary plan is to list them for sale. My plan is to have the 3 P's ensure that my houses move quickly.
Product - my properties will simply be a better product. A few upgraded features that make the house pop, and the rest professionally done to look top notch.
Price- By buying at the right price, I ensure that I have enough room to list the home for below what the other comparable properties are listed for. That combined with the fact that my property is nicer, will help immensely.
Presentation- Professional flyers about the home and STAGING the house will make it feel inviting to the potential buyers.
My alternate exit strategy if the primary falls through is to Lease Option/ Rent to Own the home to someone with less than perfect credit, but has money down. This may actually be just as good as the first plan, as it will drive interest and bring a quicker transaction. I am also an experienced mortgage broker, so I can look at someone's credit and
know whether or not if they will be able to purchase the home in 6-12 months with credit work. I also have a phenomenal credit repair lady who can do wonders, so that will not be a problem.
And with a lease option, I would definitely refinance the home into a better loan so I can pay back my investor and get a lower payment.
As far as team members, being a mortgage broker - I know several appraisers very well, and I have a few realtor friends too.
I had not heard of that site, but I will check it out, thanks.
Thanks for the replies guys.
