Would seller financing be a better strategy here?

HI Chelsea,  I don't work in the Scottsdale market, but I do know that the market right now is a sellers market and 'great' deals are harder to find, but as always they are out there.  

What you expected is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is what your purchase contract states.Normally you would demand a prorated rent, no deductions, as well as any and all deposits the tenants have paid.

Hey Joe,I looking for a lender that will do a 12 month loan on the following:List Price $150,000.00Purchase price $115,000Rehab cost $50.000 Total Loan amount $145,000 plus to be able to roll in interest and closing cost or seller help with closing.looking at loan for $165,000 LTV a little over 65% ARV $250,000 sold comps this year 250,000LTV $162,500 at 65%but i need the money down to be as low as possible.their terms are good but the money down is a bit high.Thanks

Just a seller perspective.GOOD LUCK

I am good at marketing and can probably find buyers and sellers but that rehab thing spooks me.

I do not think I tie a good time to invest in anything where the cycle is against you because values seem to be up and it tends to be a seller's market and it is hard to compete against cash buyers.You might have to do more offers to do as well before the cycle got in this place.  

What does " . . and must treat the seller as a customer, . . " mean? 

@Seth C.The discount rate depends on your market, how much demand there is for that type of security, the prime rate, etc.

Always more than the seller reveals.Stop reading crap like Rich Dad Poor Dad.
