We've seen seller financing come back in a big way, and I think it will continue as debt continues to be challenging.Syndication, raising capital for less experienced operators, and those who have challenging deals, will be more difficult in this part of the cycle.What tools/strategies are you using to close deals today?

Hey Britney, I have a friend who lives in The Villages (north of Orlando) and you can get a great deal on a home there. 

While this isn’t usually any reason to back out of a deal it’s a good idea to know up front.

I'm currently looking into the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) and need some advice on structuring a deal for a house that's in foreclosure.Here's a brief overview of my situation:Property Value: According to Zillow, the house is worth $649,500.Current Loan Amount: $470,000, which is the current market value without any repairs.Funding: I'm looking for a hard money lender to cover 100% of the purchase cost and rehab cost.Tenants: I already have tenants in place.I'm working on getting the exact numbers for the rehab costs, but I would appreciate any advice on how to structure this deal effectively.

@Mary Ciccarelli If the property is a good DEAL it's worth the effort.

I was actually looking for some deals in Hagerstown myself.

Market Value of the property: For example, I convinced a FSBO to sell his property for $300,000 with the contract being assignable and I go under contractThen, I find a real estate agent, tell them that I have a deal and I'm offering 33% of my assignment fee which is 30k so the agent would be getting $10,000.

If you can get a good deal in Fondren and Bellhaven, go for it, but in my experience real estate there is overpriced.  

New investors can go at there own pace, build relationships, and get better deals on materials and labor. 

I'm particularly passionate about off market deals and adding short term rentals to our portfolio.
