He said startup costs (certification, etc.) are around $500, you need to carry at least 15K in insurance (his recommendation), and you should register with the NNA and RotaryNotary. 

I want the seller, who are the heirs of an estate, to carry a 10% second for three years and put down 10% with an SBA loan.Any thought on this deal?

@Courtney M.Lot's of great suggestions on the forum:Seller carry/finance: Seller may benefit from deferral of gainsHELOC: if for investment, tax-deductible even post reform401(k)Loan: up to the lesser of: (a) 50k and (b) 50% of account value.

Nothing a pet store carried was going to be strong enough, so he got the appropriately sized chains from a hardware store instead. 

I will also use the BRRRR process on this one after 6 months of seasoning.I am looking for some advice or suggestions on how to calm my nerves considering that I will have to carry the HELOC and personal loan 6 months while waiting on seasoning.

I was wondering if I sell my homestead house ( living 7 years in it) and sell it with a owner financing and I carry the note for 30 years.

My worry here is the long amount of time I'd have to carry this extra debt, and that it might sour an otherwise good deal with this payment on top of a commercial loan. 

That puts you in a property now if you've got the down or can get a gift from family.Alternative is saving to buy the land for cash (very few land lenders) or ask to have a seller carry.

Yes, I'm looking for any misc. companies that provide public records on seller carry backs, "private" notes, whatever you want to call them as long as they're owned by an individual or small/mid company.

@Caleb Jordan  No real feedback other than you picked-up a lot of experience on this deal that will carry forward to future deals.Most folks out there would have over-spent on the house purchase, over-spent on repairs and then lost 10-20k on the sale side.
