I've been investing in the Rockford area for almost 30 years it has treated me very well. I also run the Rockford real estate investors association, you can check us out on Facebook.

It treated my grandpa very well and he's the reason im even interested in real estate investing. What is the name of your real estate group? I'm very interested in checking out.

@Brad Richards I am not sure I understand your question completely. Are you asking how much equity you would have in the example (equity = appraisal value - loan value = $10,000) or are you asking how much equity should you try to get in an owner financed deal (as much as possible)?

I was asking more as a general sense but using the example as a way to the understand the numbers
