In the meantime, I am trying to better understand the Indianapolis (Fishers, Carmel) real estate market and considering getting a realtors license.In Indiana, the cost for the real estate licensing course is approximately ~$580 and an additional ~$80 annually to maintain.

Seller finance deals work when one of the following situations is present1- property can’t be financed with institutional financing usually because property is vacant (commercial property) or in bad condition2- seller will only accept an above market price for the property and by offering seller financing opens the universe of potential buyers to include people who wouldn’t qualify for financing3- seller is able to obtain a “piece of the action” from a buyer rehabbing the property and hence ultimately obtain a higher price.4- the seller has an existing low interest rate mortgage and wants to “wrap” the existing mortgage into a seller financed higher rate mortgage and pocket the differential 5- property is an investment property, seller has a low basis in the property because of depreciation, and wants to spread out the taxes due.Are you thinking of trying to purchase with 100% seller financing, or are you able to /willing to offer a down payment of say 10-20% .  

This was a project that I needed to get done quickly rather than get it done cost efficiently.

This requires an unexpired passport and bank statements showing down payments and closing costs which would need to be translated and in U.S.

And if anyone knows what a full renovation on a property in Pittsburg that is around 1900 sqft would cost, if you could let me know, that would be greatly appreciated.

You want to keep your maintenance low by doing all repairs as early as possible.

Unfortunately, you cannot just tell your private lender or builder that you cannot make the payments, so I’ve covered all of the costs. 

The first tenants are moving in July 1, and they have asked me to cover the costs associated with the installation of any new services (i.e., internet), and then they will transfer it into their name at the start of the lease.

As an example, let's say Jane T.

Build cost 2 million ($240 per square foot for a 5400 square-foot duplex) (Sale price $650 per square foot valuating the duplex at 3.5 million) Upon stabilization, the properties market value is projected to be between 4.5 and 5 million.
