Seller finance deals work when one of the following situations is present1- property can’t be financed with institutional financing usually because property is vacant (commercial property) or in bad condition2- seller will only accept an above market price for the property and by offering seller financing opens the universe of potential buyers to include people who wouldn’t qualify for financing3- seller is able to obtain a “piece of the action” from a buyer rehabbing the property and hence ultimately obtain a higher price.4- the seller has an existing low interest rate mortgage and wants to “wrap” the existing mortgage into a seller financed higher rate mortgage and pocket the differential 5- property is an investment property, seller has a low basis in the property because of depreciation, and wants to spread out the taxes due.Are you thinking of trying to purchase with 100% seller financing, or are you able to /willing to offer a down payment of say 10-20% .  

Just sold a duplex at Baylor University and am interested in STR condo in Destin, Gulf Shores Coastal area (family goes every year) or Colorado, or Smokey Mountains seems to be a great place to invest now.   

It is fairly universally known that if you want to buy real estate, you go to the local MLS and/or Zillow.  

Hi @Marc Shin - A new Universal Studios is being built in Frisco TX (a suburb of Dallas) that I find interesting.

The property is 15 minutes away from uptown charlotte and 20 minutes away from the university.

You could visit the idea of student housing in university area of Charlotte with a SFH and rent by the room. 

or "be near Temple University" I am from NJ/NYC area and am looking to identify the next big/upcoming neighborhood in Philly?

I lived in Ponce for a year across from the Catholic University on the 15th floor in a decent condo/apt.

In a fast moving market, where multiple offers are presented there is no time for getting verbal buy in. but if a property has been sitting, to me, there’s no reason not to make sure that you are in the same universe before submitting a formal offer. 

Hi Long, I have spent the last 5 years studying real estate at the University of Rochester and specialize in multi-family cash flowing opportunities for new investors.
