--I would agree that this market has opportunities for seller finance as a record number of properties in the US are paid off. 

I think they typically give 20% off the annual subscription. 

While I am always looking for off-market, as an agent with access to MLS, that's my primary source of looking for deals right now. 

It's all the about the location and the view.

But mostly the loan, the insurance and the property taxes. 

It was a fun realization so I thought I'd share it here.I purchased my first real rental 11 years ago off the MLS for 108k (put 20% down).

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Hre are the key things to knowWhat you are bidding on - often oddball properties that are hard to identify and have little value are auctioned offThe true as is value of the property, The tax assessment can be way higher or way lower than the true as is valueThe local laws and how they affet your total costs and returns

Simply put, we start off with the As Repaired/Completed Value (ARV), then subtract from that number a reasonable profit, the rehab cost (scope of work), which we've gotten good at, a contingency reserve for any "unexpecteds", our cost of capital/carrying costs (interest and costs of the leverage used), and our costs/fees on the buy and sell sides of a flip.
