Hi Mike,I don't know the specific answer to your question, but the dirt cheap bare minimum 'online' brokerage that I've seen a lot of people use, after spinning their wheels and doing a bunch of research, is these guys.To align expectations: you get what you pay for, which in your case may end up being 100% perfectly fine.

perfect timing!

However, when STOA first started going down the tank, they were negotiating with me on interest because selling them on MLS was a different entity at that time.  

I am not looking for the perfect deal, I just want something that will improve my financial position better than just dumping all my money in a high yield savings account or something.I don't need to live in the nicest place.

The basics of a seller financed deal are that the title co or closing attorney (if there is one) or seller’s attorney draws up the warranty deed transfers title, the promissory note evidencing the debt related to the transaction, and either the deed of trust or mortgage (whichever is being used) perfecting the lien against the subject property.  

No house is perfect.

This means looking for a lip stick project that can be completed and resold in 6 months or lessThe formula in a perfect worldFix and Flip a home- Make $25K to $50K (Yes you'll pay short term capital gain tax); Repeat the process 3 times; Now you'll have an additional $75K to $150K added to your $80K of savings.

It has helped considerably but isn’t perfect.

Yes they "may" lose some potential future value, but cash in hand for a needed purchase is better than holding on & the market tanks just before you need the money.As a side note, the real true investment is in the underlying technology, block-chain, not in the crypto-currency of the month.
