You must celebrate the wins, because you deserve it!

@Jorge Pimienta Anytime you can negotiate a seller financing deal (especially with the higher interest rate environment we're in now), that's a win for you as it'll likely end up being a good deal cheaper and costing you less out of pocket, less documentation, etc.If that's not an option, and you plan to flip the property, then you should look into hard-money loans.

Getting them to agree to pay a few months extra to move out- is a win.

I will add that even after you win the auction, there is a redemption period where they can pay you off (plus interest) and take the property back.

Trouble is, when the choice is between logic and emotion, emotion usually wins the battle, but in the end loses the war.

I want to know the extent of what we're getting into and how we can properly structure this deal in such a way where we both feel like we win and nobody builds any resentment for one another.

However, I think this is short lived and that the Feds will win out with increasing interest rates and you will see in the coming months the median house prices continue to drop.  

Huge Congrats on that win.

Many investors got their start this way and are eager to see young investors win!

This is what finding your niche is all about if I am in a room with 10 realtors I will win the house hacker at an alarming rate but I will lose the battle with "forever home agents" at a much higher rate so I simply find house hackers and help them meet their goals.
