@Troy Cole This is good question with many different answers unfortunately, I suggest that you always ask for references, and always make sure you look up there state contractors license.at least here in California each and every contractors has to be licensed.I angle I always take is I never ask for a Estimate, the word it self implies a rough calculation.

Thus, a good guide for me to evaluate a trainer or a book or a program, if the focus is on getting rich, I get discouraged. 

However, it seems to me, the HML guy implies he is tapped out per the restriction, if he has to wait for the restriction period to end.

NOTE: I wasn't implying that you were trying to annoy anyone, but that's why the system works that way.

@Mike SattemPerhaps I need a lawyers input, but the "Settle for tenants with red flags" would imply that there should be no issue in not renting to the 20 'Bad Tenants' who apply if there is no "Good Tenants'...

Corey Reyment I wasn't implying fear set in your deal, I meant I've come across deals that actually made sense and I didn't jump further into it because fear took over and my emotion and inexperience made me lose that deal.

Don't try to imply that Ben doesn't work or that he's not out searching for property.

I was not trying to imply one investment tool was inferior or superior to the other, just trying to clarify some differences between the two with regard to real estate investing.

I saw on your LinkedIn profile (yes I know stalkerish) that you're currently an MBA Candidate and work for the Dekalb County Police Department as a trainer.

I'd say that you can find these deals all over the place. there are tons of investors that only do these types of deals and do many of them a month. seller financing is not my first go to though. we come in with terms offers, which is basically agreeing to paying x amount until the debt is paid off. seller financing implies there will be a down payment and interest to pay. we don't want to pay those, especially if the house needs some work. in the event we have to, we want to be treated like a bank customer if the seller wants to be treated like a bank. 85% of homes are bought with 0-3.5% down. interest rates are around 3%. and I get 30 years to pay the bank off. typically when we're looking for homes to buy cash, if the seller wants the current full market value and not a discounted cash sale, that's when we bring up selling on terms. the deals are out there, you just have to figure out how to target them. good luck, reach out if I can be of any assistance.
