Post: Seller Financing

Hello BiggerPockets, My name is Marcus. I really need your Expertise on seller Financing. As a wholesaler, i sent an owner a letter stating i wanted to buy a property she owned. After speaking with her, i found out she owned 8 more properties. The properties have been vacant for a few years ( yes all vacant no income ) all properties are free and clear and need some repairs. Note, the properties are great. She has agreed to seller finance all properties to me, but some i have to pay a down payment and others zero down. Question, what is the best way to go about contracting these properties. Note, seller likes the fact that i created an income for her. My plan is to do zero down on most of the properties. She want 5% interest on all properties. I have a great credit score of 710. I really do not want to use hardmoney. but if its best i would. So again my plan is to do zero down, make repairs, then refinance as soon as i finish remodeling. pull about 65% out on cash out refinance to pay her off and get my rehab money back to go to the next property and do the same thing until i have rehabbed each property and refinanced to pay her off. I really need to get my income up so that it reflects a good debt to income ratio. Please help me with this Dilemma. 

Thanks,

Dallas Texas

Hello , My name is Marcus. I have been involved in the real estate industry for over 9 years. I'm a off market property specialist (wholesaler). For the past few years, I have been working with only one elite investor. Know that my exposure and business networking has increased, I'm currently working with real estate investor nationwide. My out of state investors benefit from my real estate wholesale business because real estate in Texas is much more cheaper than where they reside. I look forward to networking and doing deals with bigger pockets members as well as newbies. Thanks
