You also should do your own due diligence on them (background screening, calling past landlords, etc.).

@Mike Kooser Sr  I recall when looking at auctions in the past, at least in my area, they were cash only.

Now from some of the things i read that could be because they do not want to deal with HOA related costs that could be past due, even if its 1k.

Have you had any positive, or negative, experiences with seller financing deals in the past?

I am pretty much a newbie investor although my husband and I have held rentals in our local area in the past where we have acted a the property manager. 

This past day i have done extensive research on a good CRM for my wholesaling business that will effectively handle drip-campaign follow ups for my motivated seller leads from my cold-calling campaign.

Hey everyone,I closed on a new property on February, the tenant sent March rent by mistake to the previous owner, who refused to send it to me, saying that this covers  the tenant's past owed rent.I have an email from the tenant stating that this amount was intended to pay March rent, so I think that the owner has no right to apply it to the previous rent owed, since it's not his money.Do you think I have grounds for taking a legal action based on the tenant email?

Regarding your question: The court in the past have looked at these intents:  The agreement between the parties and their conduct in executing its terms; The contributions, if any, that each party makes to the venture;Control over income and capital and the right of each party to make withdrawals;Whether the parties are co-proprietors who share in net profits and have an obligation to share losses;Whether business was conducted in the joint names of the parties;Whether the parties held themselves out as joint venturers; andWhether separate books of account were maintained for the venture.In more complicated cases, the court has ruled what you are expecting, but there were some significant differences. 

@Brandon Lundy, her book says Birmingham has a ton of things go to tax sale and you can get some really great deals, even looking into stuff from the past that was worthless 20 years ago, but now is in a great location. 

Hi @Ofir Rushinek, I've gone through several property management companies in the past 3 years so we've decided to just open our own.
