If I were to approach a seller of a $200k home, and they had a remaining mortgage of $100k, could I get a new bank financed loan for that $100k, and have the seller finance the remaining $100k of equity to me?   

Quote from @Jason Baker: After leaving the real estate market in 2024 and bringing in the new year of 2025, what are the best updated strategies/approaches to be a successful wholesaler in the Miami Market?  

I’m a full-time sales professional at a global GSI, so I’m seeking relatively efficient strategies.Has anyone successfully used cash-out refinances, 1031 exchanges, or other equity-based approaches to boost income?

It will be an identical home to the one I’m currently building, and I expect to need no more than $160K in financing.I’m not looking to overextend myself by taking on too much debt, but I want to make sure I’m approaching this in the right way. 

This is a thoughtful and intriguing opportunity, and it’s great to see you approaching it with an ethical mindset.

I did find this deal driving driving for dollars, the realtor of the property was adding his sign in the front yard, I approached to make and offer. we close in 3 weeks.

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

Almost every realtor has several investors ready to invest at least $2 million in cash.If you’re planning to use hard money loans, agents won’t show properties without prior proof of funds.I’m curious, is this a general market trend in Ohio or just this particular realtor’s approach?

Residential property rental: Could this be a scalable and profitable approach, or is it too risky?

Additionally, how many calls does it typically take you to successfully close a deal using this approach?
