Anyway, we want to continue buying rental properties.

If you could post about pros and cons, life style, ability to work extra, commission, hours...

If they refuse you then decide if you wish to take the risk of continuing or dropping out of the sale.

I've never structured seller financing.I've thought of a near full price offer with interest only for 5 years (a little gamble that rents will continue to rise and values will at least stay steady) or the financing and paying them $225ish.The owner said my proforma seemed faulty accurate (I lose $206 monthly after moving and fully renting) so there needs to be wiggle room for win-win here.Asking the BP universe: what offer methods and tactics have you found to be most successful?

I don't know how scalable our model is for you, but we plan to continue this approach. 

The new tax laws eliminate home equity indebtedness, but you can continue to deduct acquisition indebtedness.

Cash out of LA, pick up a 4-plex, SFR and continue your free lance lifestyle with less stress.

As for more spreadsheet-style things: low property taxes, landlord friendly, land value is low so I get to disproportionately depreciate more of the purchase price, etc.

Hi All, Just looking for some thoughts/opinions as I continue to look for my first property.

If you go the in-class route for the continuing education as well, then since the school itself administers the test, the instructor literally gave us exactly what we needed to know since he was the one who made the test.
