I have the TIE!

-Creates a solid foundation for passive income, allowing you to reinvest future cash flow into other opportunities without as much financial risk.Cons:-Ties up a large amount of capital that could potentially be used to generate higher returns elsewhere (like another STR or other investments).

That's what many wholesalers do to tie up properties. 

If I were to approach a seller of a $200k home, and they had a remaining mortgage of $100k, could I get a new bank financed loan for that $100k, and have the seller finance the remaining $100k of equity to me?   

The apartment is owned by family and I wouldn’t be tied down to a lease.

Although I've considered a future line of credit against the property as my best long term option, I would need to pay down the remaining balance first.

Miami Rental Market Update: Rents Drop $200 as Affordability Remains a ChallengeMiami has officially ranked as the second-most unaffordable city in the U.S., but there’s some good news for renters: local rents have dropped to a 3-year low, with decreases of up to $200.

Further, long-term upward pressures on inflation remain, and will cause the Fed to be cautious with interest rates. 

Also, with a VA assumable, if the one assuming the loan is not a veteran, then the seller (veteran) entitlement will still be tied up in that property.

I'd like to see folks that are chosen to remain are vetted and documented.Soooo Don't bother arguing with me about what I see and know.
