If you don't mind my asking, how did you find the deal to begin with, and did you have some hint that owner financing might be on the table from the get-go?  

Multifamily is top of mind since it provides a mix of efficiency and long-term growth.

Keep in mind the 3 main ways you make money (cash-flow, mortgage pay-down, and market appreciation). 4.

Keep in mind local zoning laws and market conditions in Portland versus Salem—Portland might offer higher rents but stricter regulations, while Salem could provide better cash flow opportunities.Your design approach has proven successful, so continue focusing on appealing upgrades like kitchens and bathrooms, but prioritize cost-effective and durable materials for rentals.

Keep in mind that a slower pace is often normal for this season, and things usually pick up as we move into spring.

My hope is to build a strong network of like minded investors and real estate professionals that share similar goals, values, and experiences to help achieve successful REI deals!

If you don't mind, can you share those resources with me as well?

Quote from @Torianne Baley: Hi George,Do you mind sharing the lender you found who accepts the 500 credit score and will loan $300k There are lenders out there but the risk is very high so your rate will be 13-15% plus the loan to value will most likely need to be less than 60% (or even 50%).

One suggestion if you don't mind.
