So my question is this, how do I find seller financed deals? 

It was free so worse came to worse I would break even How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

It can be a very good market, but the why behind your choice may help us give you better advice on how to move forward.Before realtors and property managers, you really need to meet other investors so you are making a good move by trying to do that here, but it would be better if you could do it in person.

So you're not completely anonymous.

If so, you can add the value to your property more effectively.

Just make sure to run the numbers with the HELOC payment and the rent, so that you are not underwater every month.

So my area has sub 6% cap rates.

But no matter how hard he works, he can only plant so much before exhaustion sets in.""

I am the Vice President of OmniKey Realty, and I would highly recommend scheduling a tour with my investment team if you haven't already done so.

I was playing with the idea of selling my condo, taking 300k of the equity to put a down payment towards a house listed at 660k.I'm assuming the reno will run $300/sqft and going in with the assumption that phase 1 will run 750k (figure the expansion of the house will have to wait) for the gut reno.I assume/hope (but definitely not banking on) that I will be able to refi in 2-3 years at a lower interest rate; if not for a lower rate.This will likely be a family home for the next 5-10 years at LEAST so investment value isn't quite at top of mind ATM.Questions:Even if it's not for lower interest rate, do you feel it's advisable to refi to remove the 203 loan in the future?
