As always, if the damage is minimal, don't file on your insurance at all, pay the expenseyourself and then claim on the tenants security deposit.

Seller financing is a great way to delay taxes but their situation may differ from others.

I am a little concerned a won’t qualify bc all my 2021 income is from overseas (though filing as showing of course) and made minimal income in 2020 as shown in W2s.

@Mike McCarthy Does the closing gets delayed due to Subordination process?

Minimal to get approval and a $65 feeVSType B (3BR or more) "required to go through the City’s conditional use land review process." with a whopping fee of $5800. 

Sorry for the delay, I have a hard time figuring out how to reply and find my post.

Whats going on Osman,Your monthly marketing budget is the deciding factor here.If you have a minimal marketing budget then you are in what I like to call the HUSTLE stage.This will include you substituting what you don't have in capital with hustle and hunger.You do this by:Cold calling, Driving for Dollars, Self made bandit signs, Hand written letters, etc.The key is to take action and give this business ALL you've got.Best of luck!

Usually this difference is minimal for most involved in REI (the difference between $500 and $1500 avg) but for for negative cash flow situations or beginners it could matter. 

If we made an offer, it would be at the top of our budget (trying to avoid jumbo loan, so any increase in price or charges is straight out of our pocket) so we would have to minimize commission and fees on this one even on our end, to make the deal work.I don't wanna throw our realtor under the bus or anything, but I just don't have the experience trying to make a deal like this work, so any info is helpful. 

Both markets are super duper competitive and TX has a ton more Wholesalers than FL competing to get deals as well and the more urban you get the more competitive it'll be.For Florida definitely stay away from Miami, deals margin size will be minimal at best and yes most inventory is getting picked up within a day or so.
