Post: I need some help putting in an offer tomorrow.

So found a little house for sale that is listed with a Realtor. The price is 39000 but I was told that a guy put an offer in of 20000 and it was excepted. The guy backed out (he was trying to resell the property with out the owner knowing about it).

If I get the home I may turn around and resell it on a contract or I may rent it out, I am not sure what one.

The owner will carry a contract and wants 5,000 down. I am thinking about offering 17,300 with 3,000 down. How long of a term should I ask for? If I went thirty years say at 6% the payment would only be 85.74 a month.. That is kind of silly..
Suggestions on what to offer as far as terms?

When a person sells a property on a note does the owner hold title until it is paid off or do they switch title?

Thanks and

Merry Christmas

Thanks Rich

I am always looking for ways to catapult my self. I bought two homes this year and would like to continue to do so.. The problem I have is the 20% and closing costs. I think that this is going to hinder me a lot.

If you have any ideas or thoughts on this please let me know.

Thanks for the informative reply Travis..

Can you tell me the process of selling and recording a property that you own? It is tax time and a lot of young couples with kids get a big chunk back from their returns. I wouldn't mind selling a property in this fashion...

I am getting the feeling that most full time guys are flippers and that the buy and hold portion is just some extra gravy. Do you all believe that this is true? I own two SFH but I need to make up my mind, with the help of you all, witch direction to go in life...

Keep the good stories coming I appreciate your time and insight.

Congratulations to all of you guys.. That is great.

For buy and hold guys can you tell us a little more about your purchases.. Did you put a bunch of cash down or buy them with all cash down? I a m trying to get a clear idea of what works and end exactly how you did it..

James i think that you are the only person who is a buy and hold guy exclusively. I am interested in your story the most if you dont mind
