I have already spent a good 6-8 hours on the phone trying to coordinate with the seller, lender, appraisals, 1031 company, PM, inspection, etc. and I don't EVEN OWN THE PROPERTIES YET.Single family rentals are not scalable.

The agent turned down a seller financing option - although it was not ran by the seller - because the agent said the seller is so done with the property that she wants nothing to do with it at all.

I have two properties (exact same property just across the street from each other) one is a seller finance that is coming to the end of its contract for balloon payment and the other is a fix and hold Interest only loan that is also coming to the end of its contract for balloon payment.

95% of the time we get the seller to pay for the warranty.

I have found that Redfin actually has pretty good search parameters to where you can look for listings that have been sitting a while that fit your buy box, and you can even do keyword searches for things like "as is", "investor", "seller financing", "guest house", etc. depending on what you are looking for.

I think his success rate is at like 25 out of 27 the last few months of swing trading options.  

The only other option would be to get a coborrower to bring the down payment or get seller financing with a lower down payment. 

**Purchase Agreement**: This is the initial contract between you and the seller.

Kyler, call your a couple of insurance companies and get a formal quote so you can take this back to the seller.  

Once you pay realtor fees, closing costs, sellers want 10k for points and concessions.
