Quote from @Bill B.: It’s kind of like asking what’s the worst part about not being a real estate investor?

But I mostly became an agent to use the mls as a tool and it’s been a very powerful tool for me.

My question again stems around using seller financing to allow them to receive a consistent monthly pay of X amount and delay/lower their tax bill in the short term instead of going through a lender to borrow 800k+ causing my mortgage to be significant part of our income roughly 40-50% of take home -  which we are approved for LOL.

This also gives me solid staying power when maintenance costs arise. 

And that appreciation earns you borrowing power.
