Cannot confirm as of yet.Not sure the best route, thinking I should consult with a RE lawyer, and talk to the city tax office if I can 't get a hold of the owner before the property goes into the 5 year delinquency.Thanks!

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I'd say to just go for the first one that makes sense and don't hold out looking for the unicorn of a deal.

The core principles in The Book on Rental Property Investing still hold up, but higher interest rates definitely change the game.

Quote from @Mark Sullivan: Quote from @Jimmy Murray: @Mark Sullivan if you are a buy and hold investor these loans work great.

The biggest problem I see with seller financing is the cost of repairs (as well as holding, selling, etc.)

I’ve often found that a property’s best path forward isn’t always the most obvious.. sometimes letting go unlocks capital for the next wave of growth, sometimes holding tight after refinancing keeps that reliable monthly boost (from what I’ve heard).I had a friend who snagged a multi-family in a similar price range about a decade ago.. at the time, it felt like a giant step.
