I would also research closing cost and down payment assistance options, the more equity in the house you want to purchase, the more likely the bank is to approve you.

Hello everyone, I am currently a senior in college (graduating in May) with a goal to purchase a duplex this upcoming Summer.

I specialize in bridging the gap between national & international investors and builders...basically, providing a turn-key process for identifying, purchasing, & managing cash-flowing properties.

I purchased a property back in April with HELOC.

So if you bought a property with seller financing in 2020 when the AFR was ~1%, would the AFR now at ~4% apply for the seller or would they be locked in the AFR at purchase?

Cash or credit to be able to close on the property purchase YOURSELF.  

We purchased almost everything from Amazon and Wayfair.

I believe Jim K does on line tutoring for those that want to learn Greek !!! 

Purchase price: $171,000 Cash invested: $34,000 Bought a 2 unit as a househack, living in the upper and renting out the lower unit.
