Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

This is more common in today's market and often allows the seller to get a higher sale price than if you were to go through a bank/SBA loan.

All channels can work, but in my experience, the greatest oppportunities often pop up when you know exactly what your returns need to look like and keep your ear to the ground in your market.

Think about your market and what people are willing to pay a premium for.

Time in the market beats timing the market!

Additionally, please share if this was a scam or not.

Our focus is on delivering 20 top-tier leads each week, so you can spend less time on lead generation and more time closing deals.If you’re interested in streamlining your lead flow and enhancing your success in the Texas market, I’d love to discuss how we can work together.Looking forward to your thoughts!

I agree with the others here that say you need to have some skin in the game, if you are going to live there yourself, get an FHA loan rather than owner financing, you can get a 3.5% down loan, personally I do not love these as they require  PMI which is an additional expense, and you also need  bring additional funds for closing at least for taxes, title, attorney and transfer fees . borrowing from anyone else for the down payment, to include a personal loan from the bank is not a good idea, those again will be higher int. rate.

Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.

The structure also allows for mitigated tenant and maintenance risk, but it has increased dependence on market movements due to being appreciation based.
