My investors expect me to source financing for a deal and not retain a service to do what I am expect to do as part of my fees.

Good evening BP world,I am looking to make some contacts, specifically RE agents and hands-on investors in the phoenix area, in order to start acquiring some value add SFH investment properties.

The property is being purchased at 103 with an ARV of 375.

While algorithms can analyze data at scale, real estate isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nuances and the most important component of real estate is understanding its value, and that to me (maybe I am old school) but can only be done by physically visiting and walking the property.So for me, factors like local market conditions, property inspections, and borrower credibility can’t be fully captured in a formula.

With HML at least you in theory can vet the property and keep a low LTV to ensure you can be made whole.

Quote from @Guillermo Perez: Does anyone have experience with seller finance?

I have properties in a few different markets.

I used to work with a property management company that managed 30+ STR's.

I can see the OP giving this a shot.. but it is risky he could end up making a few bucks and getting experience might just break even or he could take a loss.. that margin is very thin in markets that are not selling as soon as you get CO  thats been one reason we have been profitable very few homes have been carried past CO so financing cost are at a minimum.. you hold a spec home 6 months past Co and every month your losing money you will not recover.

I got a master's in real estate and finance from one of the top colleges in the country for less than that.
