It's a pretty widely discussed issue with buying foreclosure auctions.

Issue #3,985 to run past the accountant and/ or attorney.

Hello Schneur, @Jason Wray explained seller financing very well here.I see you're located here in NY... please keep in mind that seller financing is not very common here because most sellers prefer to cash-out and reinvest elsewhere.

You pay him/ he to follow processes and resolve issues.

I am also trying to establish my team, I have a good realtor who is sending me properties, I was connected to a lender but I am open to suggestions/ recommendations for lenders, property managers, project manager (is this common?)  

The most common beginner-friendly strategies include buy-and-hold (acquiring properties to rent out), fix-and-flip (renovating and reselling), and house hacking (living in a multi-unit property and renting out other units).

@Christopher Davis my property manager does an inspection about 30 days before lease end, verifies timeline with current tenant and potential turnover issues.

I think the issue I’m having is that I’m getting a discrepancy when I’m running the numbers with Redfin info vs lender info (it’s sometimes off ~ $200) so I was just wondering if for every property I analyze should I try to have the lender get the PITI for me for it to be more accurate 

If they admit to using undocumented employees the insurance won't pay and then the municipality will likely issue a hefty fine and not allow them to pull permits and work for a period of time.

It was the best decision I ever made.With their expertise and my determination, we tackled those issues head-on.
