@Voley Martin Make sure you get updated insurance costs.

Do you understand the added complexity, work involved, and costs? 

You are adding costs and complications for no benefit at all.

While using financing does mean I don’t keep 100% of the profit due to borrowing costs, it allows me to take on multiple projects at once and operate in higher price ranges than if I were only using my own capital. 

These cost-effective renovations made the home more attractive to buyers and increased its market value.

While the borrowing costs are higher, I’m exploring strategies where the returns could offset this.

The biggest problem I see with seller financing is the cost of repairs (as well as holding, selling, etc.)

I am taking a salesperson license exam this year to get into the industry and use these commissions toward closing costs.

Quote from @Chris Wagner: Hello everyone,I have a property that had sewer damage that costs me $3300. 

Opt 1) utilizing our savings in the brokerage account and emergency fund and pay for it all up front.
