But your issue becomes that regardless of how you would like it priced, the bank is going to price it based on comparable sales so even if a 6% CAP gives you a value of 600k but the highest comparable they can find is 500k, you're going to run into problems when your buyer goes to finance.

Your original offer was asking for more than a bank would give you, which with owner financing almost never happens. 

I've heard some banks will/have the right to call your note. 

Landscaping can be done for a couple hundred bucks and can really help with tenants and bank appraisals

It is my understanding that financing with a bank mortgage in 1st position and a seller carry back in 2nd position is something that was allowed prior to 2008 but has since died out.

Can I ask the bank for the extra 40k to do whatever repairs necessary to my liking, such as on a line of credit.

However, the advantage is that I can use leverage from the bank and get a high return. 

The bank doesn’t really care who you use for insurance as long as you have it.

Hi,I am a Canadian investor and the big banks dont share too much love for foreign investors.

(Side Note: if you really want to jump your credit score in a few months (because it takes time for the reporting to update), and if your disciplined with your spending try this;1st) I went and did the math to see what my positive cash flow each month off my active income (let’s say you’ve got $500 left over after you go through your monthly spending avg. which is all you kick out vs what you bring in)2nd) Go get a credit card with 0% interest for 12mths with NO higher than 5% transfer fee.( their are some with low as a 0% transfer and I had got that one on my 2nd round cause my credit wouldn’t let me at first)3rd) do a transfer balance after 24- 48hrs of opening the card (Nope you don’t need wait to actually get the card just call in and tell them over the phone to send a Blanche transfer check to your bank account in the amount of your car Balance; because you’ve only got a 30day window of transfer with 0% interest for the 12mths)4th) PAY YOUR CAR OFF IN FULL, and take your old car note (let’s says it $450mth) plus your $500 positive cash each month and add all $950 each month to pay against the balance on the card5th) in 45days start checking your CreditKarma app (its free) and don’t worry about the 5% if it’s larger than your car loan % because once you’ve paid your car off your score will go up and in a couple months of $950 your car will be paid OFF not in 2more years or so...Thus saving you probably more than $2,000 in interest on the car loan (so you get to keep $$) and time in payments.Your saving money on interest (keeping it in your pocket thus making your pocket bigger!
