All will be delivered vacant, apparently I missed the piece in my offer that allows the seller to stay in the unit up to 7 days after closing... 

Some damage from WDI, which seller will have to address this before close.Seller is paying all closing costs, survey & title, they did a rate buy down to 5.49%, and a year warranty. 

The price started at 120k and I counter-offered 90k to which the seller was going to accept.

For example, I have two STR high-income earners (making 140k & 150k) in Joshua Tree for sale with low expenses, where the sellers will stay on to manage it.Making sure you are keeping as much as possible from the tax man is a huge component and to do so you usually have to invest it.

Whenever you plan on buying a property in the future, do not take the seller agent word for it always do your due diligence and make sure you get a certificate from the township that clearly states how many units are legally allowed in that building. 

Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

That does not even include the one or two deals that happen daily or weekly between realtors who know the buyer/seller and make a deal happen as almost an off-market deal.

Quote from @Blake Grzybowski: I am a wholesaler in Michigan and would like to start reaching out to potential sellers who are Maybe foreclosuresdaily.com, maybe see if any of your title company partners has access to titlepro software for leads. 

Another one was seller-financed for a few years before refinancing into a conventional loan around 2018, again no issues until this year.

Over my time (over 30 years), if your lender will make a call to the seller/seller's rep to explain the level of due diligence we've done on the buyer usually goes a long way.
