Was there really deals to do seller financing and that were already in good conditions?

Typically when you see "cash only" the agent doesn't believe the property can pass a home inspection which isn't relevant for construction loans in most instances and there are plenty of banks, hard money lenders etc. who offer construction financing on distressed buildings.

Judges also postpone sale dates for buyers with financing, so cash is likely not necessary to get the date moved.

I will be very careful with my first investment if I were you, unless you have a rich father or uncle who is willing to finance your mistake.

How did you finance this deal?

This will effect your ability to obtain financing for quite a few years but may be worth considering.  

Vet potential partners carefully and aim for relationships that can grow with your portfolio.In this higher interest rate environment, focus on cash flow and creative financing options like the HomeStyle rehab loan or seller financing.

How are you financing this?

In order to help finance the care, we are currently renting house and foresee needing to draw equity from it in the future.
