I'll shoot you a private message with a couple of classes that I'm teaching with @Charles Roberts coming up.

Thanks Charles and Mark.

Many books on how habits are formed or altered (Ex: The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg) discuss how we can use multiple resources to kick ourselves into learning something new and sticking to it.Additionally, I think the term "guru" is warped.

Most lawyers are conventional and don't understand creative financing - so when you find a lawyer you should be prepared and ask  these questions:Loan amount - principalfor how long - term what's the interest rate (or it could be a "principal mortgage - that is NO interest - all payments go to pay down the loan - my favorite - learn how to ask for this great mortgage) balloon payment, will  you have a right to discount for early pay-off, will you have the right to substitute collateral in the event you sell the property (no need to pay off mortgage - just walk the loan to another suitable equity that you own - this way you keep all the proceeds of the sale with no need to pay it off to the owner - you still owe it - but just have another collateral)will you build in a "first right of refusal" in the event mortgagee has an offer to sell the mortgagewill your mortgage be recorded or will use a promissory note - not recordedwill seller require co-signer or a blanket mortgage - will seller stay on as a joint venture/hybrid partner for a percentage of the resale profit in lieu of a purchase discountYou just may only need a title company - they can get the job done for less money - lawyers are expensive - talk to a seasoned local investor for hints on asking and getting seller financing.For us investors, seller financing is the best loan ever.Wishing you good luck ---- Charles - Baltimore Maryland
