Ideally, both of them at the same time.

Seller financing is a tool that can be, like a specialized auto repair wrench, to solve a problem between seller and buyer.

They are not from the same country, some from Cuba, some from Ecuador, some from Peru, yes they all speak Spanish but not sure if that's "homogeneous".The property is only a few blocks from State Road 7 US 441, and that street is very busy - public transportation, stores, strip malls etc...so I suspect many work there, in the restaurants, auto repair, tire kingdom, hub cap heaven, super markets, pet shops etc...

And ideally, on the East Coast.So my questions to all you learned people would be 1.

None of them really feel that ideal, but you have to start somewhere right?

would like to catch the appreciation of the property and very ideally have it be a good enough deal that it cashflows

Rental insurance usually costs about $15-$25 monthly, sometimes less if bundled with their auto policy.We have dwelling and repairs covered, but because of forward thinking and a great insurance agent, we also have coverage for the missed rents due to the damage.

I will use those funds towards a down payment for my first buy and hold property (ideally a duplex so that I can live in one side and rent the other out).

Ideally, I would love to find a discounted/distressed property in a decent neighborhood, however it seems that is easier said then done.

On several occasions we were able to get significant price reductions based on my guys report(s).Believe it or not I find some agents will not use the guy I deal with & I assume it's because he is so thorough.
