FHA gets a bad rap because sellers and many agents think it's only for people who don't have the money so if I had 20 percent, but wanted to use FHA, I would present a proof of funds with my offer showing I have more money, but am using the FHA as a financial option so I can get an investment property as well somewhere else.

We then export this data into an Excel spreadsheet to review metrics such as average occupancy, daily rates, and annual revenue for that specific property type and location.We'll also look at the top-performing properties in the area and analyze the amenities they offer, their location, proximity to attractions/beach etc.

- My first thought is offering cash, but the home owner would most likely just let it go to foreclosure because of how low the offer would be. - My second thought is offering some cash and taking over the loan - there are no liens on the property yet.

Let me know if you are interested in discussing this option!

Self-education and finding a mentor or partner to learn from are much better options.

Some agents are savvy enough with their offer to  require the seller to pay the early issue.. others its just another line item and buyer pays it..

@Louis Hamilton,If a HELOC doesn’t work, you might consider these options:1.

Last but not lease, start writing offers and don't get stuck in analysis paralysis. 

I have a property I'm considering seller financing with a wrap mortgage to a buyer, I'm currently refinancing the home and have the option to not escrow the taxes and insurance, which lowers the payment about 700/ month on the 1st position mortgage, BUT would escrow the T&I on the wrap mortgage. has anyone structured it that way what would be the pros and cons to structuring it this way? 

I imagine it’s a relatively short drive from Southwestern Ontario, and it offers some unique opportunities that align well with what you’re looking for.Detroit has seen tremendous progress over the last decade, with significant investment and revitalization in many areas.
