Few agents in the market understand seller finance and the many ways it can be structured, and few will sometimes promote it, but the rest are just risk averse.

I’ve personally gutted and rehabbed three of my own houses, and for the last three years, I’ve been hands-on managing my own rental properties.

In short, I can afford the additional $1100/mo cost of a second house, even until I rent it out.I have around $35K in HYSA and emergency funds that I could use for a down payment, but that's less than 20% which would be required for a conventional loan, assuming full purchase price.

In this area, market values hit around $4.95 million, giving you a solid 131% ROI.

When a utility is provided by the government, if the bill is unpaid, it can usually become a lien on the house.

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

Study the market.

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.
