i keep seeing:1. buy out of state rental in a solid neighborhood with long-term potential (just as you are recommending) but then...2. have one rough tenant turn that costs a couple grand, and3. give up on real estate investing, and turn on everyone involved in the transaction for not guaranteeing that sweet cash flow in month 1 lol, yea there is a decent chunk of investors who get really butthurt by that one bad unit turn and just give up.

I put up a mix a fake and real cameras.

A lot of my clients are seeing great success in C/C+ locations that are in the major areas of growth, so they get the mix of appreciation and cash flow. 

Quote from @Kevin Prasad: Hi all, I’m looking to negotiate a deal thats a mix of seller financing and conventional lending.

Do not mix money and expenses, or it won't protect you from lawsuits as intended.

Are you looking for cash flow, appreciation, or a mix of both?

EDIT: Just realized I read that wrong and thought the poster was the seller. 5% rate and 5% down is a sweet deal, take that if you can get it!

It is in a northern MI Downtown area (opp zone) in a county seat with 2 hospitals, had it re-zoned to mixed use, and is considered blighted which makes it eligible for MEDC funding of up to 50% of project cost.It is 8k sqft (4,000 each level) with the lower level being a walkout (top level is street level with sloped drive down to the rear of the building).

My experience working for Christina, the owner of STR Property Partners, left me with mixed feelings.

I have a mix of students and families.
