@Jerry Velezif a property is owned outright with no mortgages, debts or liens on it, then it can (potentially) be purchased on seller financing. 

Asset sold was mainly transfer of client list and contracts.Does it make sense for me to seek out a note purchaser?

In the process of redoing kitchen and bath and sprucing up the yard.

Additionally, we have a decent amount invested in retirement accounts, which we plan to continue building over time.As part of the move, we’ll be purchasing a larger home.

You can find some 2 units under or around $250K but they have been sitting on the market for over 150 days which tells you its not a great deal if it were an investor woud have already purchased it 4 month ago.  

Purchase price: $900,000 Cash invested: $15,000 6BB/3.5Bath 4000sf on 3.4 acres near several wedding venues.

Another thing is not to rush I was in a rush to jump into RE but I'm glad I did it's all a learning process on what not to do for next one. 

Now days you don't buy a deal you make the deal either with how you operate the property, how you finance the property, or how you purchase the property.

Purchase price: $185,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $671,000This was our 3rd home.

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $294,000 Sale price: $355,000 Seller was behind on pay HOA payments and in risk for losing the property.
