Central Illinois offers some unique opportunities for creative real estate investing, from seller financing to lease options and more.

LOTS to talk about in Calgary as quality multi-family deals are being snapped up quickly, multiple offers on handyman specials, and parts of the city is experiencing Sellers Market, while the CIty of Calgary has decided to continue their major capital reinvestment projects, so there will be emerging areas soon! 

An "owner's title policy" is purchased (typically) by the seller for benefit of the buyer. 

The seller showed me their Airbnb deposit.

You can write it up in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.I would exhaust all options with the seller before going hard or private money.

@Blaine Alger   Do you feel like now with WFH, there is more demand from people that might normally work in Austin or Dallas that want to live in Waco for better pricing and smaller city feel?  

@Jeremy HartwigYou are missing a lot of important data, such as median income of the area, rent comps in the area, what current values are.You are buying on actuals, but in many markets that have low supply and have a lot of demand, it makes it difficult buy based on actuals.

My seller is on hospice and her old house is scheduled for lender auction soon but comes with a substantial medicare lien. 

I only brought 3.5% down to closing and the seller paid 3% CCA which I used to buy down my rate to 4.8%.   

Just make sure to do thorough research and fully update yourself on the changes in the local market to ensure strong rental demand and solid market data.Diversifying your investments by owning multiple properties spreads the risk and helps maintain cash flow.
