Back in the accounting 101 class days, we had transaction numbers(TN) and the entire set of T-Account entries were done using the same TN. 

Hopefully the seller's preferred method is a note and d of t.

Consider installing 4 x 8 sheets of T-111 plywood siding.

If they were there for less t8ne and say they damaged the carpet t9 the point of t needed to be replaced I would be allowed to charge the leftover life of the carpet in a percentage.

They do offer a 30-day money back guarantee though I am oft leery of programs that cost a fortune and offer to give you your money back...There are more but these are the most active at the moment as far as I can tell...All told I think it is quite possible that these "Gurus" make much of their money from selling information and peddling dreams more that they do in Real Estate.

The oft-referenced official metrics that come to mind are Housing Starts (which you referenced as "New Builds") and breaking down the market into types of housing - apartments vs first-time buyer SFR vs trade-up SFR vs high-end.

Question to Minnesota Investors familiar with Seller financing: I'm looking to work with a couple sellers who own property free and clear and are willing to do selling financing.What type of transaction(s) did you do (CD vs D of T), how was it structured, did you hire an attorney to write or vet your contract and BONUS: are you willing to share the basic contracts/documents (what I'm really in need of).I always thought "contract for deed" was the customary seller-financing structure, but was advised by the BP community that a deed of trust combined with a note is more prudent.

Second, you need to leave the majority of te profit on the table for the investor taking the largest risk and your $6k (split or not) is too high for this home.

<g>With that in mind, can anyone give me the Readers Digest version of just what the oft mentioned: "Lonnie Deal" is?

Study up on Colorado's RE and contract laws, to the point that I can (if necessary) draft my own D of T, WD and Note, or at least not have to pay the attorney that drafts the first one to EXPLAIN them to me.2.
