It is acceptable for a seller financed transaction to sell slightly higher as in relation to what conventional financing may have cost a buyer, a seller may not charge loan fees or points with a loan funded by equity and the price is the only adjustment a seller has available to compensate for granting the loan.

Ask questions until you fully understand what you are getting – find out what the education includes.Know the refund policy BEFORE you purchase – many of these programs cost a significant amount of money.

Don't worry as much about cost as you do about results.Offer your free consultation and add, "if you don't need to sell at this time, please save this postcard for future reference" or something like that...Good luck!

In another, I was a TIC partner with a couple other folks in a 34 unit apt building in Costa Mesa, CA.

The path I want to take is working with motivated sellers who are willing to provide seller financing while transferring the deed so then I can then resell the the deed to a motivated buyer and in turn for me become the bank that controls a note on the property.I have found guru course out there like Ian Flannigan's "Hidden Cash Flow Fortunes" which cost a arm and a leg ($1,497) to get started with.

Less turn over costs, and the lease ups would be far less frequent making the higher initial cost a significantly better deal.

I indicated to my agent that maybe I could recoup some money by getting help with closing cost; as I have done with all my personal property purchases.

This way is about the same cost as the plates (with my company, at least) There are probably other ways, but these are the methods that my waterproofing company use.

Now I just have to get up the nerve to go look at that fixer-upper in Costa Rica that I've been eyeing...

@Rob Rice I am New to investing, just moved down from NY and live in Carroll County (Villa Rica) I would be very interested in talking to you about something.
