The brokerage doesn't matter as much unless you are selling off market and they can share within their office.

I was recently sent details about a 20-unit apartment complex that I’m interested in, but the seller's asking price doesn’t align with the numbers I’ve run.

Now we are mostly scaling our business with larger communities but I've used many different creative finance strategies including seller finance, private lending, hard-money, collateral from other properties, and lease-options. 

Looking to learn more about seller financing, the art of the deal as well as connecting with like minded investors in Chicago and beyond!

I've been surprised at properties that have passed conventional financing though...and even FHA....also, one could present 2 offers to seller--one for a cash offer and one for seller financing (at a higher price of course). 

I also wouldnt let your mom go into 2nd position on an investment property with any sort of restructuring; it doenst sound like she's in a position to risk being wiped out.Overall, though, if you want cashflow on the new property but cant achieve that after a refi into a market rate loan, it probably makes more sense to just flip it, pay off your heloc and your mom, and use the remaining capital for the next deal.

I'm in the Tampa market.  

So seller did have a marketable title.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

I chose to invest in 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, due to its potential in a growing market.
