I always try to get as much advice from people with more knowledge than I have before getting into anything so I'm hoping there will be some experienced people here who can give me some advice. 

Hope this helps and please feel free to ask additional questions.

Any advice on free apps/websites? 

@Kevin SobiloTo my knowledge that is not how it works .Was there a written contract between you and the seller .Did both you and seller sign the contract.

The difference between my views and my lifelong friends is two things: knowledge and action.

Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.

You're also limiting your buyer pool when it will only make money if the buyer gets creative.If you do go under contract, I would make sure you have some very broad "get out of jail free" clauses that you could terminate the contract.

I will say that if you are younger, have a little more free time, and are willing to put additional effort into your property, this could be a great learning experience.

To bring on a partner you have to either bring knowledge or money, you don't have both yet.

They work well for mom and pop sellers that are free of a mortgage and are looking to retire on the cash flow.
