Many sellers offer owner financing at high interest rates (often around 12%), but I’ve seen investors buy properties this way, hold them for a while, and then refinance with a bank to lock in a much lower interest rate.Here’s the strategy I’m considering, but I’d love to hear from those who’ve done it:Step 1: Purchase the Property with Owner FinancingFind a seller willing to finance the deal.Put down 10-20% and agree to a 12% interest rate for 5-10 years.Example: Buy a $55,000 property, put $5,500 down, and finance $49,500 at 12% interest.Monthly payment: $710.18.Rent out the property for $1,500/month while preparing for refinancing.Does this sound like how you guys structure your owner-financed deals?

Should I invest in a syndication instead of buy my own investment property?

Quote from @Corby Goade: Just because a property is on the MLS, that doesn't make it a bad deal.

We have properties out of state and use property managers.

I’d try to get more cash or buy deeper for properties.

@Elizabeth Scala, The IRS requires that the taxpayer for the new property must be the same as the taxpayer for the old property.  

-Have you thought about potentially buying a house-hack property?

We do not label our keys with the property address.

Investment property is all about the numbers.
