Do not rely on it for legal advice.

Don't rely on the proforma's provided by the sellers!

Finding deals takes a lot of time and the reason a lot of people can’t find good 70% deals is because they rely on guys like me to find them deals.

Instead, be patient, do your own research (not simply relying on an agent) and only make offers that you are 100% confident that the property you are offering on is worth the offer you are making. 

Knowing your info 100% and not relying on others to give you what you need to know (facts) is rough....there are 100's of "business's" that lie for a living.

I don't have to rely on anyone else and can analyze and offer all I want without dealing with anyone else...AND have that close insight into our local market already! 

Where I'm located the housing stock is predominantly quads and smaller... and its almost all converted SFH that are 100+ years old to boot (translated = rotted sewer lines, knob & tube electric, lead paint, asbestos siding & pipe wrap)... all the things that say OPPORTUNITY... and I've been missing it for over a year!

@Dumitru Anton, thank you for the recommendation, I do plan on relying on the military focused sub forum to help me with specific challenges.

After giving her all the other advice, remind her to think long and hard whether or not she wants to continue to be tied to the property and relying on another person to make the deal work, OR, if she'd rather sell it outright and be free of the whole thing.Think about it:  just because you CAN structure a creative financing deal, doesn't always mean you SHOULD do that.

My ultimate goal is cash flow so it sounds like the SFH is more of a long-term hold investment relying on appreciation.
