Offer them a 5 year loan at whatever interest rate you desire and they agree to pay.

Explained that one way was fast and the other slow, and sometimes the speed would spark a desire to sell at a low price. 

I have a property coming available soon in a highly desirable area however the house is not quite ready to show.

They have mentors that will make up for their lack of wisdom, and because they are so new they will bust their butts for you and work harder than anyone else out there to earn your loyalty and/or future referrals. 

The benefit of an installment contract is the buyer can operate the property as an owner and pay down the total due for sale earning equity or bring the actual funds needed at the time of financing to an acceptable market level.  

His desire to purchase a giant house out in the sticks for $325k that would go for $2.5m in my market doesn't make him reckless (meaning he should stick to the cap), it makes him SMART (meaning, in his case, it's prudent not to have that artificially low cap of $271k).

My long term goals are to do well as an agent, invest my earnings into a mixture of flips, builds, and buy and holds.

I have 1) saved up over $100k that I am looking to start with, 2) family who are interested in contributing to the right opportunity, 3) a six figure income and 750+ credit score (I understand this is not as important on the multifamily side of things) and 4) a burning desire to make this happen.Knowing that there so many of you out there that are further down the road than I am and have infinitely more experience than I do, I am requesting the assistance of the BP community to help me answer the question "How can I make my first investment in real estate be in multifamily/apartments?"

I have no desire to have roommates as I had for 6 years.

I’ve done relative well in school, earning the honor for cumulative.
