@Anade Davis Agency: either FNMA, FHLMC, FHA, or VA.Look for land contracts, where seller provides financing.

One, you might want to consider Seller Financing (in Michigan, we call it a Land Contract) which can allow you to buy property while using the Seller as Banker; not all Sellers are open to this, but it can be beneficial to both the Buyer and Seller.

The seller requires a cash purchase & I’m exploring creative ways to structure the deal.

It's much better to be able to do your own screening as oposed to hoping the seller did their homework :-) If the property is clean and the rent is fair, it should rent out quickly.

About 5 years ago one of the sellers we bought a multi family from told us about a company that has a lot of landlords like us and we coshare insurance coverage.

If you have any tips, resources, or advice for someone just starting out, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.Some specific things I’m working on right now:Building a strong buyers list.Identifying motivated sellers and honing my outreach.Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend negotiating a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

The seller hasn’t responded to anyone after the deal close.

Closing costs - you will have to pay taxes/stamps etc. typically as a seller.4.

Tell them you want to get into investing and ask them if they know of anyone who might be interested in seller financing.
