It's pretty convenient, although their coverage rates are relatively high and you have no say as to what coverage you want.

Then you should also always get a second pair of eyes to check the numbers you came up with (let's say a real estate agent or preferably 2). 

You can set up an account for accounting and payment (ask the title company where local owner finance folks set these up or look online).Run the numbers on say a 5%, fifteen year mortgage (or whatever you decide or agree upon; that was my term in the end 5%, 15 year to young couple with strong credit/employment).

I can say a few years ago I never checked my credit score.

Say a guy gets paid on Friday and has $750 rent to pay and his paycheck is only $950, right? 

Think of it this way,You could buy a home for 2.2 mil todayOr wait for a downturn to reduce the price by lets say a modest 10% of 2.2 mil That's 220,000 in savingsDivided by your "wasted" 4,000 a month in rent55 months.You could keep renting for 55 months or 4.6 years waiting for a downturn and break even if prices fall 10% I would keep renting.

Let's say a seller signs a listing contract with a traditional agent and that agent charges a 6% commission.

Secondly, does anyone no I’ve someone offering their services in lieu of their capital investment in say a partnership to buy and fix and flip a house?

To earn 1M per year with let’s say a combined return of 8 percent requires principle of 12.5 M.

I have heard most investors say a large non refundable down payment is supposed to somehow offset the risk if and when the other tenant buyer defaults.
