Seller agrees to finance $x of the purchase price at y% per annum payable in equal monthly installments of $z and secured by a first lien deed of trust.

I will say there's plenty of catalysts out there; Stretched labor market, high corporate debt, overvalued assets, massive government debt on almost all levels, geopolitical instability, failing pension funds, political uncertainty, and on it goes.

60 years is pretty much standard around here... but since your property now has a known problem (trust me, title insurers do not operate in a vacuum), the time period is irrelevant.Switching title companies wouldn't fix the problem, it would actually hurt you.

@Caleb Heimsoth note to self, buy houses from the elderly and their trusts

My first buy an hold opportunity..Triplex - Fully occupiedlisting price $170,000 (DOM: 73, CDOM: 257)Unit A & B: 2/1, Unit C: 1/1All 3 units rent for $550 (room for increased rents)*Seller is willing to carry back a first trust deed with a 20% to a 30% cash down, 3-5 years at a 8% interest rate. 

Then they pay off the old loan, you sign a new note and deed of trust, and a new deed is recorded as well as the old lien being removed. 

It is refreshing seeing people on this site being so welcoming and inclusive no matter other members levels of expertise. 

Hi,Looking for advice on how I can start to gather vacancy rates and avg rents charged for last 5-10 years at a very micro level (each unit in the area im looking at).  

In order to partner with somebody you need to know, like, and trust them first.

They do a good job driving housing prices up and then taxing, constricting affordable new drvelooment, and regulating the area enough to maintain the higher prices levels .
