To be clear, I’m not against financing, but since I don’t know too much about what I’m doing I feel like it’d be easier to own a property outright and get some experience with landlording to determine how much financing I’d be comfortable with after maybe a year’s worth of rental income.

I work with tons of international clients who set up LLCs during their financing/refinancing process so I can connect you.

One property said they would consider seller-financing to a buyer, do I contact the seller and ask?

Are there options for assuming the existing mortgage and financing the remaining balance with another mortgage?

Hey Tanner,Welcome in, its a good idea to build your team as you get started and then being ready to pull the trigger when the right deal comes along.Our firm helps to track down unconventional financing for clients through various hard money/DSCR lenders.

How did you finance this deal?

Consider seeking pre-approval for financing to know your purchasing power.

Let me show the numbers; please let me know if it makes sense:Property Original Value $10,000,000.00 Initial Finance $7,500,000.00 Investors Money (Downpayment) $2,500,000.00 Ipotetical foced Appretiation New Value $12,500,000.00 New Downpayment/Equity $3,125,000.00 Refinance Principal $9,375,000.00 Cash Out from Original Investment back to investors $1,875,000.00 There are some MF investors that hold the property with no plans to sell and keep doing refinancing, and this seems to be the model applied by Ken McElroy.

what did the financing look like on it ?

PenFed did a HELOC on a financed investment for me.
