This type of deal can also help you minimize upfront costs, as you’re reducing the cash needed to buy the property outright by aligning the seller’s financial outcome with yours.While there may be details to work through, such as crafting a solid contract or ensuring alignment with any financing you bring in, these can be easily addressed with the right team in place.

Provide a detailed accounting of deductions, along with the invoices, to show you’re acting in good faith.

I have spent a lot of time reading and re reading everything you all generously took the time to write here on my post.Shiloh, all of your detailed information is awesome and led me down multiple paths of research and has given me much to consider.

@Nadeem Alamgir Thanks for the step by step detailed suggestions!

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

In the meantime, would something like this interest you: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1-McDevitt...?

@Jay Hurst thank you for this detailed message.

Also I have not worked out the financing yet. if I just use my cash then the Cash on Cash drops to 8 or 9% and that would be below my Cash on Cash target.Generally speaking and of course just numbers I picked out of the air for reference when running numbers in my head, I am looking for Cash on Cash greater than 15%, high probability of long term occupancy, and no expected major Capex for 2.5 years after purchase and purchase time repairs which I would add into the cash on cash evaluation before pulling the trigger.So there are some more details to be worked out in my head but being it is my first one and only learning what I could from youtube videos I thought I would get some feedback.With all that said, in my head it seems like it could be a good start.Thanks again Jaycee and Gavin for your feedback.

I’m hoping that once I do have enough saved I can buy the second property and continue house hacking.Something like this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/2574-W-Fai...?
