I have a cosigner willing to help, but Im unsure whether they must be in my LLC or can just be a guarantor, has anyone dealt with this before?

Act quick, these type of deals are always available but to the ppl that are willing to act fast.

Hopefully, you can answer, and we will connect soon.Best - Chris

But even then, seller financing is rarely substantially better than another investment they could make (including trust deed lending, which will often be at a higher rate than seller financing)In my experience, the owners who find owner financing advantageous are at the ends of their careers and are not interested in looking for another investment (other than the usual retirement funding sorts.)

There is one and only one insurance company in town who will insure the property due to its fire risk.

I guess my questions that still remain: Did the city in theory have a lot of leverage in these negotiations after the second failed attempt at rezoning by the developers? 

Personally if you are looking to grow in real estate going the traditional method/way of getting good properties under agreement with traditional financing will get you to where you want to go faster than trying to find all the needles in a haystack.

If not you will find it in the mailbox and can keep it until someone contacts you, or not.If folks change tenants and updated rental agreement are signed, we make it clear that we do not deal with divvying out the security deposit.
