How do you buy from him then?

I am a Realtor in Tyler and also looking to buy my first investment property here.

Hello All,I'm under contract to purchase my first office space in Raleigh NC and was curious if anyone has any commercials properties in the area whose brain I can pick.I have a few questions on things such as best entity to buy it under, insurance policies, having a cost segregation study completed, etc.

He gets an option to buy it for the remaining balance on the mortgage, and pays my mortgage down.Call it rent to own, or call it a loan with free rent as interest plus option to buy.Will it trigger due on sale?

Hello everyone, I am looking to buy my first turnkey property, likely somewhere in the midwest.

OR Should I buy 4-5 single family homes instead?

That’s a challenging situation since you haven't defined the final product yet.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Yes, this is pretty normal - generally conventional loans like this are super competitive (since everyones essentially offering the same product) so shopping and finding some deals especially with smaller banks and brokers can yield good rates well under the "prevailing headline market rates"

Buy solid appreciating stocks.
