For example, let's say a buyer has requested $10K in closing costs to be paid by the seller...if the buyer can't see the seller's side of the HUD, how can they be sure that the closing attorney appropriated the funds correctly and didn't make a mistake?

Bear with me, as my numbers are rough and dirty at this point but they will get the job done.This deal is pretty straightforward and middle of the road in my book.This would be a 35 years non-recourse fixed rate Loan and I will use a very conservative 7% interest rate (less then 6% today) for my calculations.Let’s say a Purchase Price $4,190,000 and an Appraised Value of $4,471,000 (my guess is as good as yours?).

If BP could provide a pay per view webinar with a teacher(s) who can instruct in fine line detail, with a real transaction as a sample, answer questions, and possibly even provide photo and video clips of exactly how to do a specific deal using a specific strategy, would that be worth say a $59 affordable cost?

your seem to be on the right path working through the pros and consI would say a deal is a deal.

To me, the only additional value to a seller financed offer would be the savings, or part of, that would be realized if the seller gave you a below market rate (ie the savings from say a 3% seller financed rate vs a 5% market rate)

Let's say a property with market value of $175k with loan amount of $120k.

Passive does not have to mean fully hands off, but let's say a few hours/week on average at most.I am asking for ideas, but I should mention up front the things I am just not interested in for this goal.

I suspect that this asset-size offers more opportunity as there are likely more operating inefficiencies.If comparable properties in this market trade at a 10% cap, would it be unrealistic to shoot for an acquisition with, let’s say, a 14% cap?

(And I would also say a win for the contractors who got some work out of the rehab!)

The renters would be responsible for securing the renters policy themselves (to insure their personal effects), so it would likely be priced a bit differently than say, a home owner residing in their residence.Good question though!
