The property we just bought kind of fell in our lap via a dinner conversation with a family member.

I would imagine you are fixing and flipping with paying cash.From other conversations I have had with local investors that market has pretty much died.

@Kerisha Johnson welcome to the community and congrats on choosing to get going in real estate and participate in the conversation.

So from what i'm getting from this conversation is that most people don't approach a seller with a seller financing offer?

Condo conversion address 1613 6th St Berkley CA7 unit apartment complex sell price is 1.52Msix units are 2 bed / 1 bathone is a 3 bed / 1 bathall units have their separate gas and water meters and parking space, there is even a common space available set up in the complex.Condo compatibles are $400,000 plusEven without the conversion I am told the rent are $135,000 per year cash flow.After talking to the planner at the city, most of the conditions have already been met by this particular property.It will mostly be paperwork to convert and put in place an HOA.

welcome @Brandon Hall and congrats on participating in the conversation.

In a conversation I had with a loan agent, it was made clear that the borrower must have NO negative credit.

So if you don't have a specific property under contract, one or two conversations might be the upper end of the number of times they are willing to discuss it, without there being an actual possible deal on the table.You may find that once you have an actual contract, the same lender who was willing to do what you wanted but stopped communicating, will once again reply to your emails.

I have heard on podcasts that pay per click and bandits signs have a very good lead conversion ratio.

@Mike Baker - welcome and congrats on joining the conversation.
