Your smart for planning on building your team early.

You’re probably thinking, I don’t know this person so why should I get involved… just remember that we’d both be in the same boat, we both have to trust and respect one another, but read to the end, and learn more about me.I was born and raised in San Jose, California by my beautiful, wickedly smart and fiercely independent single mother.

A smart seller should only seller-finance to someone with good credit, adequate reserves, a nice down payment etc. and underwrite the deal like a normal bank would, but I've been seeing more and more situations where unqualified buyers are acquiring properties this way. 

I concur with what Joia said here, definitely smart going with the 2-4 small multi-family route and house hacking your first investment.

(parents make $200K) student ai A+++ and then I think the grade point owes...joking shes that smart in school. but it look s like home mortgage 5% and 5 years in 6 month payments

You can always push back on appraisals, which is always smart in my mind. 

That's a smart decision.

U dont have much value until you have a user.. so there are things one needs to understand to make a smart choice with land in path of progress.. land brought in for RESI purposes is easier to gauge land for commercial or industrial like this site u only have value when you have a user but the value in our case could go from what we optioned it for 4,500 an acre to 1 mil an acre just like Nathan who posted above his relative selling in the same location for 1 mil an acre.. 

I think it's smart to buy down now... and let it ride.

It's a smart pick for consistent demand.9.
