Have you tried any HML - hard money lenders some offer 90-100% LTV for smaller loans. 

What does it have to do with real estate? 

And also make sure that the numbers work before making any offers.

Hi All,I found a friend in my martial arts class that has been in real estate for 10 years. 

Currently I'm listening to "ABCs of Real Estate Investing" and I've subscribed to the BiggerPockets podcast. 

Hello Jennifer,For Seller Financing, you would write your offer just like you would with 3rd party financing.I would think that Florida Real Estate Commission has a Seller Finance Addendum to add to your contract, on the addendum you would fill out the terms you are proposing. 

Don't throw it all into real estate.

You could always offer a shorter lease that ends in May/June to give yourself an opportunity to find new tenants or raise the rent to market at that time.I hope this helps and if you ever need any guidance or want to chat about the process of assuming an existing loan, I would love to connect! 

I'm 23 years old and plan to use real estate for my retirement, but that's in the distant future.My question is whether it's better to pay off the mortgage as quickly as possible or to buy a rental property as soon as possible.My thoughts are that if I pay off my home, I'll have security and more money each month to invest, as I won't have to make mortgage or rent payments.

Info pulled off MLS directly.We are now in that time of year where school has begun and, cyclically, real estate cools down for a little while.
