Seller changed listing back to 1.02 acres.

Getting one property and cashflowing it will be a challenge. you can try seller financing but you are still going to be highly levered which just enhances the risk that you are taking on.The best way to grow is to focus on managing your rental, saving money through your W2 and crushing that - if you are a realtor you will make more crushing it as being a realtor than over leveraging real estate - then save for down payment and buy slowly. its not a rush.

Seller finance the property- ask for an up front, non-refundable down payment of $XXX (which could be used as his primary residence down payment), payments of $X over X years at X interest rate with a balloon payment in X years2.

Start meeting with sellers in the areas you are wanting to work in whether they be mobile homes in parks, lots and/or out on land.

they're sitting, either because 1. they're not distressed enough, or 2. the seller won't budge off of their unrealistic price, or 3. something else is very, very off.hope this helps - happy to help further

Everything is as promised if not better.There's a little bit issue on the final day but not entirely their mistake.Problem with all these previous negative feedback is always when buyer/seller doesn't know what they're doing. 

Could have held until this winter and gotten his occupancy up to around 80% and would have added another $500k to the value.Downpayment $310kAll in cost plus loan: $1.3mmSold for $2.4mm; with 250k seller financing for 5 years. 

most realtors deal with primary / retail buyers and sellers and they too aren't going to just walk properties for you. 

I've briefly thought about that, where the seller will be moving on to.

I predict that the guys who are fully leveraged and cash flowing $100 per month will be motivated sellers when the next big correction happens.actually its either them or they walk and its their lenders selling that is what happened in that time period.. and was pronounced in certain markets.for me personally  I don't want to risk  my credit and finances and borrow 75k to make 1200 a year... or even 2400 a year if its a market that has a history of no appreciation and I don't feel there is going to be any significant appreciation.. 2 to 3% a year does not cut it.but I will take 500 a month negative or 10k a month negative if I think there are huge gains at the other end..
