This is a very good idea, I didn't think they could make this kind of search on the MLS.

 what do you mean? I though it was a good movie overall...

I am not an experience investor, but what I would be more worried about is to make sure that this properties rent, beside the fact that they sell or not.

I am a newbie but from what I read Jacksonville is pretty hot

Thanks for the advice! Great points.

It is very hard to find the seller financing options online on Zillow & Company though

Hello everybody!

I am interested in buying 2 properties, both FSBO and I'd most definitely need to use seller financing for one of them if not both. Both property are townhouses in community with HOW fee. My questions are:

1) How do I propose a seller financing option in a attractive way for the seller?

2) How do I structure the deal/contract?

3) What do I need in order to make sure everything goes smoothly? Lawyer for the contract, title company, what else?

4) Should I use a realtor for helping me out, since it is the first time I'd be buying an house?

5) Anything you guys learnt from past experience that I should or should not do?Any advice or hack I should know about?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody! I am not sure this is the right section, but I was reading something that might be interesting and useful for many of you (unfortunately it doesn't concern me) that don't know about that (maybe it is common knowledge and in case forgive me for that).

Check out this websites

www.missingmoney.com

https://treasurydirect.gov/indiv/tools/tools_trasu...

http://search.pbgc.gov/mp/

to find out if there is any missing or lost money from your finances.

 how much should be the minimum down payment?

and what about the interest rate to offer?

what are the pros and cons for both, seller and buyers?

Thanks man, very appreciated.

And I was thinking the same. We need this kind of list, and also expanded to other financial crisis and bubbles. At the end real estate is a business, and probably newbies like me could always learn something new about money, finances and business.

Thanks for the recommendation! This is going to be the next one after "The Big Short"
