But I purchased land in cash and leveraged it to build a new construction stick built home.

If I were to approach a seller of a $200k home, and they had a remaining mortgage of $100k, could I get a new bank financed loan for that $100k, and have the seller finance the remaining $100k of equity to me?   

In The Tampa Bay Area local investor in the items inside the home/business but looking to get with the right people to build a team.

I currently own one home in NY as LTR, one STR in SWFL but am looking to expand my portfolio.

And it's not only the homes, you also have to fortify your grocery stores, schools and anything else.

If you do decide to start flipping homes- as a new investor you can either self finance with all cash, or you can contact a commercial lender like myself and expect terms to be 75-80% of the purchase price with 100% of the rehab financed through a draw.

Better than underground homes which have issues with moisture etc.

I am five months in quieting a title on a home/property that was initially obtained by my father in a tax sale.

Happy to give you a quick background about the market.The median home price in the MSA is about $350,000, but you can find plenty of rent-ready properties in suburbs north of the Tennessee River for under $250,000 or under.

Once I was deployed on a submarine in the North Atlantic and they helped my wife with a 1031 exchange on the sale of a home and purchase of 2 other properties.
