I have been patiently waiting for the weather to warm up so I can finish the last piece to my flip in the metro Detroit area.

I am also curious to find out more about the primary University character of the location.

If you keep shoveling in coal(dollars) it will produce ALOT of heat and keep you very warm, but when you neglect it or can no longer afford to give it coal, its gonna seize up and die.

@Ryan KurthI'm an HVAC contractor and I have a few, used, warm air furnaces that I keep around for emergency and/or construction use.

I've never structured seller financing.I've thought of a near full price offer with interest only for 5 years (a little gamble that rents will continue to rise and values will at least stay steady) or the financing and paying them $225ish.The owner said my proforma seemed faulty accurate (I lose $206 monthly after moving and fully renting) so there needs to be wiggle room for win-win here.Asking the BP universe: what offer methods and tactics have you found to be most successful?

Also located near a local university so should have plenty of future tenants.

Pension funds, university endowments, and some colleagues from Greenwich and Wall St.

Go buy Dave Ramsey's book 'The Money Makeover' and/or sign up and take his 'Financial Peace University' course.

Hello all and thanks for the warm welcome!

I am contemplating my next steps and what I should do as I am currently at college at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
