I've been calling around countless insurance companies (both traditional and speciality insurance) seeking home owners coverage for only a 6 month term, but no luck!

Seed Capital has advantages if you can get it without having to record a lien as you have more options with traditional funding.

I'm familiar with and have used the traditional route of having the local bank finance the construction loan and then roll it into a perm loan on several projects in the past.  

A defeasible fee is not likely to show up on a traditional sale because a buyer wouldn't want the seller to retain a future interest in the property. 

Just looking for some advice on the non traditional terms we have come up with. single family home is rented for 750 per month plus utilities, duplexes are each rented for 625/month plus utilities, triplex is rented for 625/month. taxes are around 300 per month per house so 1500/month rental income will be 6375. home insurance runs around 80/month per house so 400 per month with a 10 year payoff no interest 10000 down.

Some counties vary on who traditionally pays the title insurance.

Hello All,I'm a young designer looking ahead at my career and wondering if there is a more profitable path for me outside of the traditional architectural practice.

I'm trying to compile a list for out-of-state landlords who want to self-manage part of the jobs traditionally done by property managers.  

You're not getting a traditional mortgage, did you have the place appraised, did you turn over your financials and tax returns, are your assets and liabilities verified, no, a seller financed buyer usually doesn't do that and not doing so and the risk to the lender goes up, doesn't matter who the borrower is, the lender is just taking the borrower's word as to underwriting an installment deal. 

My plan goes something like this:Get a preapproval of a traditional investment mortgage with 20% downpurchase condo or similar priced home (going condo route seems to be the most affordable in my area for a first investment unless I can find a good deal)If repairs are needed get a construction loan or find a hardmoney lender to finance property and rehab cost as long as loan is 70% ARV (seems to be a standard and will allow for profit making)fix up the property decide if it is profitable to rent and refi or sell and reinvest the proceeds^^this is my ROUGH plan.
