Consider this.Someone also paid me for a mentorship.

Does anyone have, or is anyone aware of a calculator with inputs to show me whether a seller paid 3-2-1 rate buy down vs price reduction is best, where I have ability to input for how many years. 

Also stress is what we get paid for.

In our situation, if the loan gets called it doesn't seem like it would be a huge problem, as we could just pay it off and the list the property and get the equity (probably $30k to $40k after selling expenses, assuming the market hasn't dropped).Thank you in advance for any feedback anyone is able to provide on the subject of a subject-to sale with a USDA loan.Jean

Is the $1500 income the rent or the cash flow after properly allocating for expenses?

Make sure you put discount clauses and subordination verbiage in your offer.Use the Installment down payment clause.A Front Porch clause can be used to completely eliminate the down payment requirement.Write in your offer that seller pays all transfer, contributes X-$'s to you at settlement and that you receive all positive escrows if there is a mortgage to be paid off, and the seller agrees to leave stuff in the house or garage - all furniture, the old car in the garage, tools and garden stuff.

Need real estate agent and property management advice Hey Jyothi, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

If things go south and the property is sold off due to a default, you'll be second in line to get paid.

Once you gain traction and get some deals the good news is you can hire a VA to at least to the initial calls for you (less no's) and you only talk to the ones interested in your offer (I know it because I run a call center for Real Estate).Mailers can also work, in that case interested sellers reach out to you, mailers can be expensive though so its also a numbers game.

If you are going to be rehabbing the property and will need access to the capital for investment expenses, look into checkbook control- a little more advanced strategy.
