Looking at REITs, farmland, maybe buying land at auction. 

But, almost everything seems to involve buying/selling in some form, and that means agents and brokers.

But if you are buying property in cash for, say, $200k, and need 50-100k for rehabs, that is a totally different risk profile for your lender.You could consider partnering with someone with experience.  

Thank you for the information! 

While that is good for lenders, since the process can possibly be less than 30 days, while other states could take years. it's a hazard for 2nd lien position holders who could not be informed quickly enough to safeguard their principal before the senior creditor forecloses or don't have the capital available to pay off the 1st lien holder to preserve their loan position and avoid foreclosure. 

Rene, Wow thank you so much for all this information!

So my cautionary tale is when buying seller financed paper, make sure you are very in tune to the value of the property.PS: Even if this started out as performing, same concept applies - make sure you know the numbers/values of the property.

I currently have a solid base of liquid assets and am looking to diversify my investments.I own two fully paid-off single-family homes in Tampa and am currently considering buying a luxury condo in Hallandale Beach for $600K.

You could buy it out or increase the rate to reduce the years, but it will result in a much more costlier loan.
