@Michael HyunSeller financed properties usually have some type of motivated seller, or else they would just list it and not worry about carrying the note.I've bought and sold on seller financing, and very few sellers elect to seller finance, unless they have to or are looking to defer taxes.Welcome to where we are in the market cycle.

Kansas and Missouri are still incredibly landlord friendly.  

I do not have any real estate investment experience but I am very motivated to get started.

A Stanford study revealed that over 75% of the ADUs built in San Jose between 2016 and 2020 did not have a permit and are therefore illegal housing units.The lengthy permitting process, high construction costs, and shortage of tradespeople are some of the factors motivating property owners and contractors to take on the risk of building, renting to tenants, and/or housing family & friends in an illegal unit.

I always do options so I make sure to give my option check to the motivated seller the day I sign up the deal. 

This is incredibly helpful! 

We no issues closing in an LLC, as a matter of fact most of my lenders will prefer it (assuming it is not your primary residence)Assuming it is not your primary residence, the easiest way to do this deal would be through a DSCR Loans.A DSCR Loan will use current rents or market rents if the property is vacant and personal tax return from you would NOT be required.It also referred to as a No Ratio Loan because your personal Debt To Income is not important.What is important is that the property can pay for itself.If we keep the LTV Low the rate for this loan can be better than a conventional loan.If you ARE Living in the property and you want to keep it... it would mostly depend on how motivated you are and how willing you'd be to "postpone gratification"The best bet is still a DSCR Loan.. which means you moving and renting the property out.We can bring in Asset Based Financing that can help with cash down (if you need it) or to pay cash for another property for you to reside in.Once you're moved out we can do the DSCR Loan at a 70% - 80% LTV or we can calculate a comfortable cash flow number.For example, max cash out that will give you $500 cashflow after a full PITI payment.Let's discuss more!

the taxation and benefits of STR vs LTR are incredibly different. 

We have an incredible amount of homes around downtown Bloomington that are 100+ years old that have nearly all been turned into 2-4 unit buildings.

I’m gonna be frank, you will not quit your job buying rental properties, Brrr’s are incredibly hard to make work, for instance I bought a property at about 50% of arv which is crazy hard to find, I could probably pull all my money out but I’d stil be cash flow negative.
