Hello, I am 23 and have a job with a real estate company.

I’ve never used NPV for any of my real estate investment analysis, though I use it pretty regularly in my day job.

People see on the TV shows how easy it looks to jump into real estate.

First, welcome and glad you are getting into the investing side of real estate.

Hello so I am currently working on a deal for purchasing a commercial/residential property and the seller is willing to do a seller financing agreement with good terms.

In Florida, most counties use the Real Foreclose website.  

House hacking is essentially the cheat code to get started into real estate investing.Generally done by utilizing FHA loans and 2-4 unit properties.Basically, buy a primary residence, live in it or one of the units for 12 months, move out buy again and do it all over again.Each time you can utilize fha as long as you refi the former before you use it again.Great way to buy a lot of properties with low entry cost!

I can go get a masters in real estate and learn from 10 hedge fund managers for that price.  

My view is that I can get a higher return by parking that cash in real estate as opposed to having some fund manager get me marginal returns on my savings.Appreciate any thoughts or comments.

This is the kind of situation where you absolutely need to get a local real estate lawyer involved.
