I can take a max of 10% of my paycheck but I'll have to pay taxes on the capital gains if I sell those right?

Marc, thank you so much for your valuable input!

I would like to start investing out of California in order to gain financial freedom.

They are considering selling the home and when they started researching capital gains, realized that they would indeed paying them as the home has been a rental longer than it was a primary residence.

All 20 largest metros had positive gains from Mar'17 to Mar'18.

Here are some basics on the property.SFR RentalLong term (3yr) tenant pays $1350/mo + all utilities (tenant is local school superintendent)Owner possibly refinanced at $100k in 2003.26 acres2 /11 1/4 story capeWaterfrontDetached 1 1/2 story garageTown Assessed Value: $122,300Actual resale value: potentially around $150k Deeded access I have put in 10% management, 8% vacancy, and about 6% others (capex, maint, etc.)So here is what I would like to send his way for a seller financed offer with no money down: Seller financed at 5% (30 yr amortization) with a 5 year balloon payoff payment Balance payoff payment at 5 years (~$91,829) Early payoff <24 mos = 10 points ($10000)Early payoff >=24 mos <36 mos = 8 points ($8000)Early payoff >=36 mos <48 mos = 4 points ($4000)Early payoff >=48 mos <60 mos = 2 points ($2000)Option for buyer to extend payoff date up to 15 years (within 6 months of payoff date, at a cost of 2 points.)Buyer to pay all title, recording, transfer fees etc.Total Interest Paid (If paid in full at five year mark):$24,038Total Sales Price with interest (If paid in full at five year mark) : $124,038Keeping in mind that we make money on the purchase, I would like to offer a fairly low purchase price that would help me get my foot in the door, and continue to give him monthly cashflow and delayed capital gains.  

I just don't want to deal with the hassle for marginal gain.

I worked with a FANTASTIC developer from upwork to aggregate all the valuable public data on distressed properties into a program that cross-references all those separate data sources and finds the matching data from each list.

The information was so valuable to me, it lead me to purchase a 3-day workshop, which in my opinion was worth the $200!
