I've worn three hats in the seller financing world (as a property buyer, as a property seller offering terms, and as an investor that buys seller financed note). 

Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $110,000 Purchased off-market from a tired landlord, this fix-and-flip involved renovating a distressed property with outdated features and deferred maintenance.

By focusing on cost-effective improvements, investors can significantly enhance property value.By first Identifying which renovations offer the highest ROI—typically kitchens, bathrooms, and curb appeal. 

Purchase price: $68,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Sale price: $195,000 I purchased a long-term rental property from the MLS that had multiple contractor issues and significant delays.

If you are looking to wholesale you need to contact owners directly before someone else does.

If the owners are saying that, then it is not to be trusted.

An option is an encumbrance, buy the property subject to the option at a lower price, if the optionee buys, you sell, if not, you still win.A deed in lieu of foreclosure can be had after the note is purchased at a discount.You can buy the note at a discount and have the owner refinance, same with installment contracts. 

I am under contract on a property that looks like it will not close.When I got the 3 fireplaces inspected, it was only a few hundred dollars extra to chimney sweep them at the time of inspection so we paid to get them swept. 

Focus on location: Look for properties near colleges or hospitals—they tend to bring consistent, reliable renters. 2.

Or local to the property?
