. $22K sounds like the perfect amount for a rehab on a small SFH, or a fat down payment.

But when the next deal takes another 2 months and you only make 3 grand on that one and you have bills to pay , and nothing on the burner you will wish you finished school so you had a regular paycheck .  

I'm wondering if I fat fingered the 9 and the 0. 

In either case, provided there's a bunch of equity in the property, no big fat giant down payment would be needed.

As the title suggests, I have a big fat zero experience in regards to real estate investing of all kinds, and that is why I'm here. 

Please everyone let's share that message every where, contact the sheriff office and the DA if you are victim of that BIG FAT Racist pig.

I don't wear those that much as I'm too old and fat to climb often these days.I have been very disappointed with footwear from both Bass Pro and Cabelas.

They are likely requiring seller financing because it allows the owner to liquidate the property and get a fat down payment, while still receiving predictable interest payments over the next 5 years.
