Are you the gambling type?

Thanks guys, I am thrilled to be here and I hope to meet you all at some point.

If you're willing to gamble and can afford the negative cash flow, this can work out.

Then froze at looking at all the countries in the world and their expected immigration / birth rates for 2030.Felt I was at a gambling point when I started seeing myself looking into Jamaica.

I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout.

If they've just got the 3.5% down, then you've got to decide if it's worth the gamble to enter into a long escrow, or take the listing back to active in hopes of finding the right buyer with the right loan (or cash).

HOWEVER--there are MANY I now know and consider friends that are THRILLED with the returns they've gotten by doing just that.

I have never purchased via seller finance before, but the seller is motivated to get her IRS issue cleaned up -- roughly $31K.I know this is a risky proposition on the $10K, but I think I am willing to gamble on this to give us enough time to work through pay-off arrangements with IRS if it is the best way to keep control of the property until we can get to clean title.

Both of the tenants have aspects that I'm not thrilled about (less than clean living habits), but the tenants on one side just set my alarm bells off.When I inspected the house before purchase they were living with no water or gas service to the house (they are responsible for utilities).

Tenant may not be thrilled but at least they can't say you are not fulfilling your agreement.
