I have found a couple locations that are in Zone "X" and the price is right.

Are they going to be around for a while@Lena Truong if you wouldn't mind sharing your experience again in a couple of months, that would be great!

I invested in a couple of Multifamily deals with Yieldstreet a few years ago.

I have quite a bit of equity in a couple of properties and have been debating my next steps.  

.: @Robin Simon I’m looking to put at least 5% down in a loan and use a larger portion of my capital to buy down the interest rate to take off a couple of points.

Given appreciation is typically where you are making most of your return in any real estate, having this additional appreciation helps create much higher returns.Additionally, my single family tenants, typically stay a couple years longer than my duplex tenants.  

So if I was dealing with a seller who was insisting on handling the transfer this way, I would be wondering what the seller is trying to hide... and I would figure it out. noted, i already started contacting some title companies, and found a couple that seem trustworthy, do you have any recommendations>

Hi James,We are looking for our first house hack as well. 2 months ago, I would have been excited to get into any good multi-family with conventional financing, but in the last couple weeks, I have been learning a lot about creative financing options such as seller financing and subject to.

I used a combination of leveraging my business line of credit, HELOC and partnerships for my first couple deals before adding in private lenders. 

After replying to a couple of comments and really thinking about it, it's clear we offer much more value than Evolve.
