Negotiated $198,000 in seller financing through a Promissory Note, pulled a $99,000 commercial loan with a 5 year balloon, and contributed $33,000 as a down payment.

I would greatly appreciate your input on this matter.Here is my setupPurchased property under a TrustLLC in FL owns the TrustHolding company LLC in WY owns LLC in FLI purchased the property sub-to, took over the seller's mortgage and I’m working on setting up insurance for the property.I understand I need to keep the seller as additionally insured in my insurance, but the seller no longer has "interest" (ownership) either in the Trust, nor any of the LLCs nor in the Deed nor Settlement Statement.

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $1,500 Seller finance me this house.

Although not a big deal, my tenant that is renting my property through THD is typically more demanding with an attitude of "I don't care, the insurance company pays for everything".

Purchase price: $8,000 Cash invested: $2,000 I purchased 2.5 acres of Raw Land in Joshua Tree, less than ten minute drive from the park and downtown area in 2018.Purchased via seller financing.2k down with monthly installments to pay out rest.Current similar lots are selling for around $65kI plan to hold long term Would eventually love to develop something on the land-either an art park or residence.

If you, your lender, or agent can pull up higher comps, there may be a way for you to negotiate a seller's concession and use it to buy down the interest rate.

@Grace Hartman Most of the time sellers offer credits instead of fixing repairs.

@Valentina ManzatiTo make a smart real estate investment, consider location, potential $20,000 down payment, and rental demand in Florida and North Carolina.

Instead, target sellers who have an actual problem, sincerely engage them to learn the specifics, and then solve their problem (and ideally get paid)!

Due to a significant spike in demand, housing prices have skyrocketed, making it nearly impossible in some areas of the city to find solid returns as a real estate investor.
