While the foundation of any true money-maker is getting a motivated seller to sell you property at a discount, knowing your exit strategy can help determine how much of a discount you need.

Hopefully he does it right, but again, at this price point and considering he's selling, what's his motivation?  

I'm hoping to learn more about using real estate to achieve my goal of retiring early.

This property is off market and the seller is motivated (lost his job), so I hope to negotiate the price lower.Here's the big catch on this property.

If the seller is super motivated, you should be able to make the seller-financing case; assuming the down-payment covers any existing payoff (if not, you could do sub2, but I have zero experience with that).As far as question #2 above (N/O/O loan that isn't based on your personal income), I have recently come across Account Closed who has a 30-year fixed program for buy-and-hold.

To overcome this obstacle, you may want to look for a non performing building with a motivated seller.

However, I'm concerned that I may be misleading people of my ultimate motives as an investor.
