After leading us on for nearly 8 months, she finally informed us that the bank rejected her financing because the house is wooden and has a greater risk of being damaged by the tropical weather.Recently we were presented a cash offer of 75k and the house was appraised at 112k in November 2017.

Then the home owner can have a day or two and walk the place, make sure everything is working and good, then when they're satisfied I get the final payment.

I've started looking at various properties in my potential areas (although I am a long distance first time investor), and I finally had the conversation to iron out some of the finer points of the financing with my father.He is an experienced, if not terribly savvy investor.

Watch or listen to the podcasts, read some blogs, and definitely read some books. 

I understand this may not make a ton of sense because its higher level stuff but the a great book to check out is "Landlording on Autopilot." 

Hello all,I am in process of making an offer on a SFH in Northern New Jersey but am struggling finalizing the offer.I want to offer 90% of appraised value with the seller holding a 30 year 6% note for me.What are some of the reasons that you have used to convince the seller to agree to finance the deal?

However, I am in the Military and with several deployments taking priority, I was unable to really start the process to begin investing in real estate.I am currently in the process of moving out to Albuquerque, NM and I am finally ready to seriously look into purchasing a property.
