Definitely have to be in it for the long haul.

Not even because I'm a good guy but because I'm in this for the long haul and don't think I'm the smartest guy in the room, so I just have to do the right thing.

I first toyed with giving him a 10%apr paid at the end of the sale, and I would pay the mortgage each month as well.

How to filter toys or other junk like cigars etc. tenants may accidentally or intentionally put and flush  before reaching septic tank or field lines to avoid damage to septic tank or field linesMy septic contractor charged 18k to  put a pump motor and then put advanced Elgin small field lines in the front yard as back yard has lot of rain water drainage issues as backyard is downhill.

Boys and their toys.. 

Not only have they NOT moved anything, they've added two satellite dishes, a broken down motorcycle, lawn chairs, and kids toys/scooters to the property.

Make sure to negotiate haul away and free delivery. 

One year we sent tons of clothes and toys to Goodwill...20 bags.  

I struggle to see the attractiveness of this business model for the dealer.That changes somewhat if the dealer and the lender are related, but even then the 5% haul is not exactly hitting the lottery.

@Jacob Lapp I don’t believe in timing the market, at least if you’re in it for the long haul — BUT, if there was ever a good time to be BUYING, it’s now.
