I read few of your blog posts and I'm not going to ask "Can I Pick your brain :)".

After 2-3 days you will receive a call from Planning to pick up your drawings.  

Would love to connect with you and pick your brain about your experiences with S8 tenants, if you're open. 

Hi David, Seller financing may be beneficial only if it requires less then a 15-20% down payment and the seller financing interest rate is less than what we may offer.With most seller financing I have seen allows a borrower to refinance anytime, so make sure there is no prepayment penalty within the contract.Yes, you can always refinance out of seller financing, but the property should not be upside down in value compared to the existing mortgage balance.If you'd like to talk and pick my brain, feel free to get in touch with me.Thank YouCraig

The themes that I am picking up from the discussion outline a few possibilities:1. sell and upgrade to better properties, better, PM, better systems.2.

For those that are on the fence about investing now, or waiting, or just exploring where investors can pick up some points of leverage, the primary area of focus will be in how the deal is financed.
