Quote from @Enrique Toledo: I came across a really good seller financing deal and I would like to purchase it as my first deal but I don’t have enough money for the down payment.can I use a lender of some sort to give me money for the down payment?

Looking to purchase in NV with current paystubs because income is a bit tight with returns.  

For experienced investors who have done 5+ similar rehab projects, I can lend up to 100% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab on light 1-4 unit rehabs. 

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I am looking into purchasing a second (vacation) home and would love to hear your thought on the pros and cons of going a conventional 30-year second mortgage vs. using a HELOC or Home Equity Loan on my Primary Residence to purchase the second home outright. 

Quote from @Dennis McNeely: In a sandwich lease option, the investor exercises their option with the property owner to purchase the property when the tenant-buyer indicates they're ready to exercise their option and purchases the property.

So pretty good equity position within a year plus cash flowing well based on a $325k purchase price.

Step 1: Ensure you can get financing (is it a cash purchase or will you need a loan). 

I can lend up to 100% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab costs for experienced investors on 1-4 unit properties.

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $200,000Two homes on half an acre.
