Keep in mind it is a risk and speculation, if something happens(market tanks, job loss, etc) then you will be out money.

This is what blows my mind about the cults of seller finance - they teach you to pay anything for a home because you can put little money into it.

You can also hold money for maintenance, capex, taxes, insurance, or other projected expenses.

Quote from @Daron Williams: I just invested in a tax deed here in texas it was a beautiful lot right on lake sam rayburn. i have it on the market for sale the only problem is you have to have two lots to build on.. i found the person that owns the lot to the right of me and there willing to possibly sale there lot the only problem is i dont have the money or the credit  to purchase it.

Best of luck to all you out there.How much did you pay for these 3 buildings initially and how many years did it take you to earn the money to pay for them?  

This vary heavily town to town. 20% down is great if buying strictly as investment but if you have a way of owner occupying I would explore that route and apply the 20% down to increasing value of property and instead using low money down loan. 

I have no social sphere or contacts family or friends in Oregon (I don’t know anyone besides my fiancée).Goals: continue to have flexible schedule while enjoying what I do (selling real estate) and making good money.

It cost us more money than we would have liked to have spent, but we were able to put a house on the market that we were proud of.

This is a debt society and debt is money. 

My park is in Oklahoma, and I am wanting to start with metering the water individually any advice about best metering equipment for the money would be appreciated.
