The lawyering I did drawing up my own legal documents did not turn out well, I can tell you that!

Began scanning MLS everyday to find a deal (I am my own realtor and this is my first transaction).January 2024 – After searching deals daily, I saw a property listed that day for 219,500 two blocks from my parents home and promptly made an offer that day for 222,222.Listing realtor kept the bidding open for a week and asked for a counter based on competing bids (in hindsight I don't think there were actually other bids).

We just refinished renovation and requested our final draw, which went to plan.  

The efforts that projects of this nature take are massive but the results are more than worth it.https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2023/11/27/columbus-home-for-human-trafficking-survivors-harriets-hope-to-open/71625032007/One-of-a-kind home for human trafficking survivors to open next month in ColumbusDanae KingColumbus DispatchOn Friday, survivors of human trafficking will walk into their brand new home: a place where each fixture and detail was chosen especially for them by fellow survivors.The home is Harriet’s Hope — named for abolitionist Harriet Tubman — a 52-unit housing community that can host multiple families and was designed specifically for human trafficking survivors.The one-of-a-kind community comes out of a public-private partnership that brought together Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost; Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA); CVS Health and OhioRISE, the CVS/Aetna-owned Medicaid program; Beacon 360 Management and many others.The Dec. 1 opening of Harriet's Hope, a community on Columbus' West Side whose exact location isn't being shared to protect survivor's safety, was announced at the Ohio Statehouse this morning.A call to actionThe project started a few years ago as a vision of Celia Kendall, the CEO of Beacon 360 Management, a nonprofit real estate developer and management firm based in Columbus with 28 communities across Ohio.Kendall got the idea for Harriet's Hope after being unsettled by what she saw doing street outreach with women being trafficked six years ago."

@Nicole TuffarelliI am aware of a few groups that can usually utilize funds from an IRA to help purchase new homes at reduced leverage (usually capped at 70% LTV).It might be more beneficial from a tax-standpoint as well to do it that way instead of drawing it all out.

Thanks I know of a Carolina based lender. 

An Escrow and or Title company can you help you with drawing up the note, providing title insurance, and recording it.

If tomorrow works for you, let's touch base.

Real estate pricing is based on demand and desirability so very cheap properties are often money pits with high maintenance and high vacancy.
