It might be better to buy with your private lender and buy them out with a future refi and payoff the seller, can't tell.I suggest you check first on alternative financing and ensure you can obtain funds rather than speculate as to when you can meet the obligations created.Note terms can have endless possibilities, it needs to work for both you and the seller.Much has been written about financing concerns, I suggest you see your banker and/or a mortgage originator to guide you specifically so that things may be planned.There is an old thread that has aspects that are applicable to your thoughts, not entirely but aspects, "What do you want Mr, Note Buyer" it's long, but there are gold nuggets in there you should understand. :)

Some of the big brand brokers (Century 21, Coldwell Banker, etc) are much more likely to require "office hours," require minimum number of transactions, require answering phones, etc. 

Hi All, I am a newbie in BP forum.  I have been listening BP podcast for over one month and it has been a great learning experience. I hope to learn more RE investing from everyone here.  I have a question. Does anyon...

Really the best advice I can give you is to speak with a local banker and be completely upfront and honest with them about your situation and plans.

Greed then took over, on all sides: lenders, broker, banker, assets manager, and even individual borrowers.

Banker.

I received some advise from my banker today.
