With over 20 years of experience as a mortgage expert and real estate investment veteran, we leverage our mortgage company to secure below-market financing for our clients, ensuring maximum value and profitability.

I am currently waiting on a rather large legal settlement to hopefully hurry up and get him his $16,000 or if we can find someone to go ahead and pay him off early (no prepayment penalty), which would be hopefully paid off sooner than later as well in exchange for a secured lien on the property plus repayment of the $16,000 plus interest short term.

For my units, I usually look for someone with annual income 40x the monthly rent so I know they are financially secure. 

Maybe you could extend the closings with some additional earnest money (even if you release it) and buy the time so you can simply do a regular 1031 exchange.  

@Shawn Mixundefined I agree Kirstin, Anderson isn't cheap but I feel much more confident and secure with them on my side.

Unfortunately, the husband lost his job about 8 months ago and, from what I'm told, hasn’t been able to secure another one—not even in retail or fast food.

For the past two years, my primary income has been my Social Security, and my home is fully paid off.

Purchase price: $187,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Sale price: $259,000 I got tired of moving place to place and worrying about finding roommate, security deposits and not having enough money to deal with maintaining someone elses home.

Motivated sellers and distressed properties are more likely to surface.Creative Financing: Higher interest rates are opening doors to strategies like seller financing or subject-to deals, where you can secure more favorable terms directly from sellers.Shift in Buyer Preferences: With work-from-home trends still influencing housing demand, suburban and secondary markets are seeing strong growth.

My strategy would then be to lease at least two of the renovated units, increasing occupancy to 90%, which could improve the chances of securing favorable terms for refinancing.I haven't pitched it to the seller yet.
