You can find free training (I'm not in any way affiliated but have gone through it and it's quite thorough) at LandConquest.... if I put the ending might get blocked but Google is your friend. 

When I go through a closing I make the seller return all security deposits to current tenants prior to closing then have the sellers attorney give me a letter that states they were returned. 

Or you can call an attorney and go through all the steps and about $600 and 3-6 weeks later you may get them out!

(he said he's ok with this since this would be an unsecured loan) The purpose of the loan would be business expenses, growth through advertising and for new route listings.  

If the property can be sold with conventional financing I am on the other side of things (and the minority) they seller financing is a bad idea due to the risk and the returns especially when considering tax ramifications The idea behind it would be that I sell using seller financing to continue to cash flow each month at a high effective rate with the amortization schedule and put a balloon after 7 years so that I can collect the full amount once the effective rate in the amortization schedule starts to balance out and not be so lucrative in my favor.I’d love to hear more of your opinion on that idea!

As for renting, going cash flow negative isn't great, and your home isn't likely to appreciate as fast as it would if it was a single family home, so holding with hopes of increasing appreciation may be a verrrry slow play, but if you can afford to hold, having a tenant pay down your mortgage is an additional great benefit to real estate investing. 

@Louis Zameryka - Prices are high, but you can most definitely still find cash flowing deals.  

We moved out in July 2024 and is now cash flowing $700/month with both units rented!
