I'm looking for seller financing options with a $10-15k down payment.

Some might choose to sell and pay the taxes, especially if the market conditions are favorable, but it would likely be a tougher decision without the 1031 option.As for the broader impact, it could hurt the economy by slowing down real estate transactions and reducing the fluidity of investments.

I am in the middle of negotiating a deal with a seller who owns a Sec8 Rental property near Pittsburgh, PA (New Kensington 15068).The tenant has been there for a few years and kept the house well-maintained.The rent is $9006 BD 2 BA 1,555 SQFTCOMPS: ARV - $135,000 | AS-IS $90,000I'm looking to get a better understanding of what Sec8 investors would pay for such property, trying to lock in the best deal possible for these investors.Also, what are the most important things I should look for in these deals?

What's the breakdown between direct-to-seller, through a broker, or other source?

Almost bought myself a property with a major leak because the seller sent proof with receipts but I dodged a bullet when I conducted my own re-inspection!

They're alway talking about the next deal, investing strategies like flipping, buy-and hold, and anticipating/reacting to the market. 

I'd suggest you start asking other investors in your market for general contractor referrals- people who do quality and reasonable work on rental properties in your market.

At about what percentage of market value? 

The trend is also fueling mergers and acquisitions within the industry, such as Circle K’s recent bid to acquire 7-Eleven.These global real estate updates reflect a dynamic market adapting to new challenges and opportunities.

Down the road, this can hurt the investor because you'll find yourself with a unit rented well below market rent when its time to sell.
