If you have a chunk of cash lying around, you could always put that towards the principal and refinance.  

Is there a lender out there that lends in PA and allows payback of the interest, principal and points after the sale of my flip?

Our total out-of-pocket costs will therefore be around $7,700 ($3,700 down + $4000 rehab).The numbers look like this: Rent $650 Loan payment $345 4 years @ 5% HOA $130 Insurance $13 Property taxes $67 Maintenance + CapEx $80 For new windows and HVAC Cash flow $15 During land contract Cash flow $361 After land contract Cash on Cash 56% After land contract ROI 48% During land contractAs the numbers show, there is virtually no cash flow during the 4 years the loan is being paid off, but the return on investment from principal pay down is almost 50% PER YEAR.  

Your vacancy expense could be quite significant and consume all of your profit and even get into your principal.

If Rental Income is being derived from the Property being vacated by the Borrower, the Borrower must be relocating to an area more than 100 miles from the Borrower’s current Principal Residence.

I've read through the contract and will summarize here with simplified numbers (not the actual numbers) what I believe the contract says and follow up with some questions for you more knowledgeable members:1) Purchase Price: $100k2) Initial Down Payment: $10K3) Buyer pays seller monthly payments based on 30 year amort of 90k at 5% which is $484/month4) Remaining principal balance to be paid off on the defined Closing Date (roughly 2 years from now)5) Buyer pays taxes and insurance6) Buyer to provide Seller a Loan Commitment from a Lender on or before the Closing Date7) Seller will transfer Deed when Buyer pays full Purchase Price8) Buyer will pay the Seller's existing monthly mortgage payment that exists on the property, which is $100/month, directly to the bank.

It's my understanding that hard money lenders aren't necessarily the formal businesses you might find online, but simply any person/entity willing to provide a short term loan, collateralized by property, and willing to take (mostly) interest only payments and defer full / majority repayment of the principal upon the term end.

If you are sure you want to put your hard work, drive, etc. into real estate my advise would be to become an agent with the goal of not simply brokering transactions but ultimately using your license for your own benefit as a principal.  

@Dan Pezzano Welcome.Are you familiar with the "Peter Principal"?

And what does that mean - off the PRINCIPAL, or only $70k's worth of monthly repayments (which may have only taken about $15k off the principal)?
