However you do it, the goal is to offset your mortgage as much as possible while you live there, you bank that savings for the next purchase and repeat every year or two.

Decide if the savings of seller finance at 5% versus a commercial loan at say 7.5%, is worth it from a balloon term time frame. 

Nice job saving!

I currently use LawDepot to download my state specific California residential and then save it in PDF format, but then want to e-sign it myself.

The time savings for us had made it really beneficial.  

I've tried online lending companies like credible but they all give me interest rates above 10%.I am wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions for paying off the $50k sooner rather than later to avoid paying double the loan...any insight is appreciated!

We’re most interested in great customer service, ease of transactions and favorable savings and loan rates for businesses.Thanks!

A good CPA should be able to save you more money (in the long run) than they charge you. 

If the property is empty is you can (and should) take immediate possession and change locks as it saves you from mandatory eviction later if they return.

I currently have a little over 35k in high yield savings and I'm on pace to have around 100k when I'm 18, I have a bit of money in stocks but I've always wanted to get into real estate, ive been watching the bigger pockets podcast for a while and ive also read quite a few books, i know how to value properties and I have 2 people who are willing to cosign deals for me.
