Hi Vincent,A fair finder’s fee or "kickback" for an off-market deal typically ranges between 1-3% of the purchase price, depending on the complexity and value of the deal.

From that information I would think the best you can do is get a range of the ARV (say $150-$170k) and I would make sure you numbers work no matter whether the actual value falls within the range.

We found a small duplex within our price range and found it worth it.

Since I am only qualified for 190k the availability for single family homes in that price range is slim.

I am a new multifamily investor (5-20 units) along the Front Range specifically Boulder and Jefferson Counties and am having the same issues when it comes to getting quotes.Brokers and agents have told me that some areas near us are simply uninsurable now.Most owners that I meet have are still in policies from before the fire.What have you learned in the two months since posting this?

Rates currently range from the high 4.00% - mid 5.00%'s depending on the asset / borrower / location. 

A fair interest rate for seller financing typically ranges between 4% and 6%.

The condos I am looking at range from $110,000-$140,000.

You're probably looking in the $400- $500k range.

We were super lucky to have hit relatively low rates (15-year 2%-3% range) that we would not see again today.The Dallas property is now rented, giving a almost zero cash flow over a 15-year fixed mortgage, until the recent HOA increase pushed it into the negative side slightly.
