Thank you Taylor! My initial gut feeling was as you explained. I am new to REI. Learning all I can and trying to figure out how to get started with little to no money down. We are at the end of a long road with my husband's education. He has a good job but we don't want to be in our 70's before we are debt free. So, for a moment it caused me to pause and consider it, but thought I would check with some experts first. Thank you for your thoughts and council!!

I received a solicitation in the mail today from a proclaimed home investment company called UNISON. I looked them up on the BBB and they are a legitimate company with an interesting business plan and investment opportunity. I am not sure it is a win win situation though. Has anyone else heard of them?

Hello, my husband and I are completely new to REI. I am trying to learn more about seller financing and how to create deals with seller financings. We gave up an opportunity to house hack a multi unit property last year and purchased a different single family home for our family instead. Now that we are learning about REI we have wondered if we could still purchase the multi unit property we passed up last year. It never sold and is currently off the market. We also don't have a lot to put into a down payment right now. So I was thinking about trying to make a deal with the owners of the multi unit property using seller financing. I thought about using BP calculators to help crunch numbers but I'm not even sure which ones to use. The financing would need to cover purchase price and renovation costs. Am I crazy to think this is possible? Any suggestions on how to go about this or where I could learn more about seller financing? Like I said,we are just getting started and trying to be creative in our efforts.
