Purchased in 2015 for $57k seller financed.

It may be worth having an experienced professional helping you and you could always try to get the seller to pay your agent’s fees.

Many of the properties I have been looking at have issues but in this case I'm working with the seller to let me get it up to conventional appraisal standards before they inspect it.

If you can find a seller willing to finance you might be able to get more favorable homes.

The seller's LLC pays capital gains tax and depreciation recapture, while the buyer's LLC uses the purchase price as the new cost basis.

If it’s verbal, they’ll need to document any prior communication or payment records to establish the relationship.If the PM is completely unresponsive, they may want to send a formal written demand for communication and payments via certified mail.

so are you doing this work for the seller for FREE.. ???

Or a seller finance calculator showing the monthly payment based on negotiated price, interest rate, down payment, etc.

You magically get the seller to cover every single closing cost (A $12k gift, or a trick to get you to buy their problem.).

It always comes down to understanding the seller(s), building rapport, and then coming to a win-win solution - we do a lot of creative deals, on & off market and each is always unique.
