Currently own three properties but looking to make my first sale.

the claim that you fixed their credit or helped their credit just is hollow. once in foreclosure their credit is trashed.. going to sale does not hurt it any more or less..

Purchase price: $55,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Sale price: $119,000 Bought at around $50kFixed up at around $20kSold at $120k What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I could say a particular town or area, but if there aren't any, many properties for sale that doesn't help. 

I have a situation where a person I know is moving out of the country and would be looking to put their home for sale in the summer.

What worked for me was focusing on building strategic relationships with top tier people (quality partners) who could complement what I brought to the table—sales, management, and execution.When you are approaching sellers for creative financing, leading with a clear value proposition (and CONFIDENTLY) is key.

As long as you purchase at least as much as your net sale. 

Unless you wait for the next tech/ICO bubble, during which you could sell anything.  

I would pay them whatever the sale of my property yields, minus any taxes incurred due to not taking a mortgage out.

Now granted Google feeds them for free but those coders and tech folks put in some long hours and there is uber competition there is no punching a clock in those type of places..
