I have some experience doing this and I reacted when I heard that 99% of agents don't know what seller financing is. 

Quote from @Jake Andronico: @Alan AsriantsReally not that bad (in my experience), and most people aren't willing to do it.

But starting with single-family can be a great way to gain experience and confidence before tackling larger deals.If you were someone I knew personally, I would probably suggest multifamily, but it's not for everyone.

@Ronald Rohde, sounds like you had a bad experience. 

Curious about the on-the-ground experience.

This was my first property, and while it's been a great learning experience, I made several mistakes along the way—ranging from choosing a realtor who was more focused on closing the deal than finding the right house to having a poor inspection and overlooking issues hidden beneath the surface (literally).

It would be very helpful if you could share your experience.

This community is a great place to gain knowledge, connect, and share experiences.

Do you have any experience in REI? 

Thanks in AdvanceHey Gash, From my experience in purchasing rentals in the Owens Cross Roads area, I'd double check the rents and think about lowering(depending on your strategy).
