Unfortunately, there is no right answer.....It depends on the specific property, it's condition and what you're planning to do with it.For example, on a distressed property that you're going to flip, if it's listed for $250k, I have offered $150kOn a prospective primary residence that is a custom home, if you offer $650k on a $750k list price, the seller will probably just reject your offer and not even counter.

Political calls, for example, are not covered by the no-not-call list (as many of us will be reminded of over the next year!).

Welcome @Willie EshePensacola has a strong market for small multifamily(2-4 units) properties but typically not enough inventory. 

Which is very important, and hard to achieve with a person you just met (leads, open houses, Facebook groups) While you may work with 'strangers' from these groups in your career, typically you will work with folks you already have a relationship with.

Typically, the higher amount of money you pay and/or the earlier you pay it, the higher the discount.

For example, in NJ some parts customarily use attorneys and some parts don't.Oh, and nothing says it has to be 6%. 

Let me set up an example here.

For example if you Google "Cabins in Big Bear" a direct booking site ranks #1.

This is a pretty weird question, I know, but I am curious.I get that you can do deals pretty much anywhere, and there are good deals all over the country, but I don't believe that the markets are equal in this regard.For example, if the seller has the ability to look at your credit as an investor (which throws out one of the sole purposes of doing a seller finance), versus states/markets that don't require that as much, I would like to know the states/markets where owners checking your credit history is not going to be prevalent in a deal, assuming the seller is willing to do this kind of deal with you.For context, yes, I am a new and aspiring investor, and due to certain circumstances, my credit is currently not the best, but I don't want that to stop me from investing in real estate (which is why I'm leaning to using seller financing).Please no answers saying that I should just raise my credit score and get an FHA/Conventional loan, because I am currently working on raising my credit, but I can't give a time on when my credit will be "back to normal" again, which could mean I could be stuck on not qualifying for a loan for the next couple of years (ain't nobody got time for that).Thanks for the help!

For example, I had a house hacking investor buy a condo for $499K, put $60K into it, and it is work somewhere in the low $600K range.
