Your seller has probably never heard of a monetized installment sale.

If your seller's primary concern is the tax loss and he doesn't want to stay in real estate, then you could possibly do a monetized installment sale.

OR After taxes, it was about 30k or 32k or something that allowed me to buy roughly 4 houses.With thse 4 houses, I was able to make about 700 to 800/mo net rental profits (tax free for now at least with depreciation eating up those profits).
