Mortgage rates would likely stay above 7%, keeping financing costs high and reducing affordability for buyers.Investors takeaway: Focus on off-market properties and motivated sellers where there’s more room for negotiation.

It's the first question I ask buyers/sellers.

I see Colorado sellers try to get a premium for a turnkey vacation rental.

That will be a process.If I were the injured party, I would be reaching out to the owner, title company, seller, and /or the developer for compensation.If you are the current owner and renting out the space, you can not claim ignorance of the issue.  

Quote from @Jared Haxton: Hi BP Community,I own a 2-bed/2-bath condo in Prescott, AZ (near Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, hospitals, and medical facilities), and I’m exploring selling it via seller financing.

I just lost $10,000 in earnest money, will be sued for the sellers agent's commission, and my agent doesn't get a dime.

We have family teams in place in both markets of Texas & Virginia and source deals on/off market through agent referrals, cold calling motivated sellers and PPL.Well, if you get more deals than you can handle and they’re too good to be true I have a friend in San Antonio that buys properties I might could point you to. 😇 

In addition to the different tracks @Chris Seveney descrubed, there is also good information on creative financing and seller financing (including what to avoid).

Since moving into another fixer-upper isn’t ideal right now, consider leveraging your $40K for a low-money-down investment, like house hacking a small multifamily or using creative financing (seller financing, subject-to, or partnerships) to avoid tying up all your capital.
