GenusI actually just closed a seller financed deal on a three-unit rental on dec 31. i don't have a ton of experience but i'll tell you why i think that one worked. it was a FSBO, but not a seller finance offer. i called him and asked him point blank if he'd consider that, because i had a down payment ready to go. i didn't make a formal offer but i did allude to a ball park figure on a down payment i had put together. the two main reasons i think he took the deal are that A) he was a genuinely motivated seller, and B) he liked the thought of having that down payment cash in his hand now, rather than waiting and hoping that something else came through.at that point, i didn't want to make an offer because i hadn't walked the place and still needed to feel out what kind of deal i could get. i was pretty up front with him about everything. i told him early on that i was looking for a rental so i needed to limit my monthly payment as much as possible. i figured it would be best to save his time and mine if he just flat-out wasn't interested.i would assume every deal is gonna require a little finesse, every seller and every situation is a little different, but that is what worked for me on this one specific deal.

I am genuinely interested in a regular get together, though.Just record the meeting and convert to podcast...no biggy.

I've attended and have found the Organizer, Kyle Jasey, and the attendees to be very open and genuinely interested in helping each other.  

In Seattle, you are competing with genuine, actual cash buyers with POF and massive EM checks.  

It's rare to have a forum where people genuinely want to help each case other.  

I am becoming increasingly frustrated by so-called wholesalers who contact me with a "deal," which, when I go to Redfin or Realtor.com,  I find it is listed on the MLS for less than the "wholesaler" is presenting to m...

Also, if you're in the DFW area you can drop by one of Think Multifamily's meetups to learn and network with like-minded people or reach out to Mark and Tami on BP; their genuine people and would love to meet you! 

I genuinely thought that this would be a good topic for a feed.

People here genuinely want to help...

I also genuinely enjoyed the whole experience and challenges of fixing it.
