Should I just find something that'll work to get my feet wet or keep digging to try to uncover a great deal?

To structure seller financing, it is always best to begin with a conversation to uncover the seller's goals.  

@William Nelson Great advice, I wish I had someone to tell me these things years ago.Bottom line for me, is take a break from looking at props and focus in your business plan and vision as you’ve mentioned.I know my business plans will change, but the most important exercise was the act of writing it down as opposed to just having the plan in your head.Not just the plan, but I also found myself researching local real estate attorneys, real estate agents, insurance agents etc. and everyone who may be involved in my business.I’ve uncovered a ton of things in my local area, which I hope will help going forward.Lot of great stuff.

I'm learning as I go and uncovering nuanced info and approaches layer by layer.

Extreme weather or the uncovering of more problems is fair, whereas lack of organization and communication certainly is not.

In purchasing around 25 SFHs and lots in NC, my attorney has never uncovered anything that made me walk away.

Yes, the due diligence time is crucial in that it gives the investor time to uncover anything lying under the surface that should kill the deal, but it shouldn't be used as a tool to tie up a property when there's no chance of completing the deal.

We might be able to uncover something for you.

You have to uncover the leads that not everyone sees.

Inglewood's best time to purchase is long gone (in my opinion) but deals can still be found, you just have to work a lot harder to uncover them.
