@Shawn Mixundefined I agree Kirstin, Anderson isn't cheap but I feel much more confident and secure with them on my side.

IN these cases they took title sub to from the sellers .. ( but in the case your describing its the same thing you have a senior note as most investors will want security) they then sold on contract to buyers with small down payments and credit challenged or income challenged and they did about 30 of these in a year or so.. worked hard at it..

Purchase price: $187,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Sale price: $259,000 I got tired of moving place to place and worrying about finding roommate, security deposits and not having enough money to deal with maintaining someone elses home.

Unfortunately, the husband lost his job about 8 months ago and, from what I'm told, hasn’t been able to secure another one—not even in retail or fast food.

For the past two years, my primary income has been my Social Security, and my home is fully paid off.

If you could see that the population growth was increasing, then you could invest with some security. 

Motivated sellers and distressed properties are more likely to surface.Creative Financing: Higher interest rates are opening doors to strategies like seller financing or subject-to deals, where you can secure more favorable terms directly from sellers.Shift in Buyer Preferences: With work-from-home trends still influencing housing demand, suburban and secondary markets are seeing strong growth.

My strategy would then be to lease at least two of the renovated units, increasing occupancy to 90%, which could improve the chances of securing favorable terms for refinancing.I haven't pitched it to the seller yet.

So, I guess I will hope social security pays something in 20 years and the stock market is still there when I grow old.BTW, I am an experienced investor, I know I can dump everything in the stock market but I am hesitant to do that.
