If you’re still sorting through your taxes, it might be worth running it by your accountant. 

I have 10 condos, each worth about 35k.

I filled up 4 dumpsters worth of trash, old carpet, furniture, and whatever other horrors the previous owners left behind.

The property is only worth what it is worth - what the seller needs to make is irrelevant.

For a few thousand dollars in rent, it is worth the call.If you don't get satisfaction there, credit card companies are regulated via The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Given that the property was worth $390K in its current condition, I saw an opportunity to make the numbers work while keeping my upfront costs low.Instead of increasing my cash offer, I negotiated a $25K down payment with the seller carrying the balance for two years through owner financing.

How is this juice not worth the squeeze?

What are the homes worth?

The only issue with seller finance and resale is if they don't want to receive a payoff in short order, then they should include a pre-payment penalty. 

Also, zoning and market trends matter a lot more than in residential, so it’s worth getting familiar with Tampa’s landscape.
