Finding something on Zillow and taking a swing just doesn't work unless you can pay cash for a property that does not qualify for conventional financing. 

Could have held until this winter and gotten his occupancy up to around 80% and would have added another $500k to the value.Downpayment $310kAll in cost plus loan: $1.3mmSold for $2.4mm; with 250k seller financing for 5 years. 

Anyways, on my latest project, the title came back yesterday and revealed two extra parcels of land deeded to the seller under the property I was under contract for.

I've considered areas close to the Falls, but sellers seem to price it a lot higher assuming the buyer can make it up renting it short term. 

They will help you clear any clouds on the title and know whether you can close in "7 days" as offered to the seller.

.- Use seller financing & local bank loans to maximize purchasing power.- Rent properties to military families, U.S. contractors, or co-living tenants for stable cash flow.- Utilize local tax incentives and investment visas to increase ROI.Why This Could Be a Billion-Dollar Play- Solves a real problem for U.S. military/gov professionals looking to invest overseas.- Provides stable, built-in demand (military personnel have guaranteed salaries & housing stipends).- Creates an alternative wealth-building strategy for a niche group of investors.- More scalable than traditional rentals.

If it were me, I would buy cash flowing, seller finance deals, keeping my debt to income low, low down payments and negotiate competitive terms.

Spoke with the seller a few month prior to contracting.

Cold Called the seller.
