With tax season approaching I’m looking for someone who can help with write offs and also future REI in the future.

I believe it is a short-sighted approach because times might change and demand as well as free cash might dry up and then all the long-term investors who understand the benefits of leverage will have moved to those TK providers who understand it systemically.It also begs the question if TK providers really have the best interest of the investor in mind as pushing for cash purchases removes one important accelerator of ROI.

If they will be able to pay market rent, using a step approach to rent increases is fine.

(im talking about the one at a time approach.) 

Wanted to see if anyone had a creative idea on how to approach this deal.

(Again, I am new to this so tell me if there's another way)Then I tried less money down approach for the seller financing.

the income approach is a better, more appropriate method and should be used along with comps if comps are used at all.do you know your projected noi and the prevailing cap rates for the area? 

In those conditions, you would look back and wish you had procured a 10 year balloon instead of 5.

@Dan Heuschele I like your approach and I find it very inspiring! 

The agreement can be customized as well for example an agent can write in a clause that if you’re unhappy/ want to work with someone else then the agreement can be terminated with something like 72 hours notice (first agent would probably have “procuring cause” on any properties they’ve showed you already), or the client can work with one agent for one type of property/ a specific part of town and a different agent for a different investment goal.
