Hey all, I’m exploring the option of seller financing on a residential property.

We are exploring alternate methods of financing, but lenders will value our equity in the rental property as leverage for new deals when we have enough.Best of luck

I'll try not use up all I have saved and explore the possibility of OPM ( Other People's money).

If you ever wanted to explore that option, especially into lower end properties to build a comfort level, within US based properties, please feel free to reach out!

My next step is to diver deeper into each area and explore the differences between them.

So that might not be an option, but I have to still explore it a bit more. 

@Todd Pieper if you are staying in STL city, there are neighborhoods which still feel safe if you explore.

Or, to explore if we have an existing channel, that most landlords like myself don’t know about.

Have you explored all the energy efficiency rebates you can get that may take care of some of the on going maintenance issues in a cost effective way? 

You may want to explore some JV or indication options, maybe even a REIT (real estate investment trust) it bypasses the high cost and allows you to mitigate the risk across multiple investors. 2.
