Hey Laura,So I can't help with the true GAP funding, but I might have some ideas on how I could help utilizing the seller financing and transitioning it to something long term. 

We love helping sellers around the country connect with investor buyers and potentially retail buyers with the goal of creating win-win-win scenarios.

We walked through a property that we went into thinking we were not going to like it and we ended up loving it and jumping on it pretty quickly after because the seller was getting other cash offers and the price/location/set-up of the property just fit our situation well. 

Very few allow any subordinate financing below their note but I do have ONE that allows 90% CLTV (they loan 75% and allow you to secure a 15% seller carryback as long as you come in with 10%). 

I think it is best for me in my situation to use an all cash offer, and I don't rent back to distressed sellers.  

Getting sellers to accept half-price offers wasn’t as easy as they say.

@Mark Updegraff guessing the upside of my stock portfolio is definitely the wild card, as its more discretionary investment we went heavy risk with AI / tech with large upsides but also wild swings.

While you're double-checking your numbers for the 17th time, a pro already locked up the property, negotiated seller concessions, and lined up financing.The real question isn’t "What surprises new investors?"

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to reach out to the whole seller community in regards to industrially zoned land?

@Joshua Christensen wouldn't expenses naturally be less if the seller's just spent about $75,000k on cap ex improvements?
