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.

Some knucklehead watched a YouTube video, where they "teach you to be rich by buying businesses with 100% seller financing." 

I’d also look into using an FHA 203k renovation loan, allowing me to buy something unqualified for a standard mortgage, which would weed out a lot of competition and push the price lower.

I am under contract to buy and flip a house that I am paying $615K for. 

I buy in OKC and Birmingham for rentals.

Hello Solomon,A few tips I have for you would be to first; Analyze Deals Properly – Use the 1% rule (monthly rent ≥ 1% of purchase price) and calculate cap rate, cash flow, and ROI before buying. 

If you buy a very large (many bedroom house) the rent by the room also will cashflow.

Buying a mobile home to place on your land can be a great way to generate rental income, but like any investment, it comes with pros, cons, and key considerations.On the pro side, mobile homes are typically more affordable than traditional single-family homes, meaning lower upfront costs.

Things like excessive dining out, bad habits, subscriptions, or impulse purchases and showing how redirecting those funds can lead to meaningful progress toward buying property.

Although I have a high income my assets are not immense and the insurance is protection against future earnings/STR  I will probably buy a primary home in next 5 years but happy for now where I am.
