Given the small amount you need, traditional lending options generally won't work. 

If you have a property that say you had for 20+ years and you still owe say 100k to a traditional bank but it is now worth  700k, can you pay off the 100k with the proceeds of the sale and owner finance the rest 560?

The minute I put a REAL (not wholetail) DEAL under contract I would reach out to each of them with a PDF presenting the property, the comparable sales within 0.25mi, pictures, and a full rehab estimate from my contractor.

It’s a bit complicated at first but believe me it’s nothing compare to medical school :) Feel free to message me, I can tell you much more.

So other than rental comps realtor provided, where has everyone found comparable rents? 

.- Other than google searching comparable rentals, is there any way you all accurately project rents as well as vacancies for your areas?

A truly self-directed Solo 401k plan would be more advantageous compared to self-directed IRA (one of the benefits is the ability to contribute 10 time more than into an IRA up to $55,000/yr, again from earned self-employment income only), however it is not for everyone.

Many areas have home stead exemptions that can significantly lower the rate. so what current owner is paying may not be what you will be paying.Also what is the valuation the taxes were figured against compared to new sales price. those taxes could raise significantlyYour insure estimate would be extremely low compared to my area in Georgia.

We were able to get a 80% of rehab value on a 20 yr term at 6%.We decided to wait and do a traditional mortgage since it would return more of our cash and get us a better rate as well as a lower monthly payment.

By doing this, they say they can get top offers and avoid the MLS service and traditional costs of using a real estate agent.
