And yes, if you are still active in the areas you have mentioned in your earlier email, I think we should have a chat.

I am actively engaged in networking and building a team of lenders, etc.

I am actively seeking owner financed deals so I was just trying to get an understand of the different reason someone would owner finance.

Also, always keep in mind that "clear title" legally does not always equate with "insurable" or "marketable," and many title insurers will require a full quiet title, rather the insure based on Tax Title Services.

If there is no active lease, I would first try working with the tenant on a date for them to be out by that's not immediate but also not far out, so it'll have to work for both parties involved.

The first consideration, in my case, was that I could afford the first loan since the property I took the loan on for the downpayment was rented and would still cashflow even after I took that loan.The other consideration I made was ensuring that the new property I was acquiring would also at least break even with the monthly payment for its loan.The third consideration was that I had enough money saved not for the downpayment but for at least five months of payments on both properties in case I couldn't pay the loan in case of an emergency (you never know if the new property will rent immediately or when you will have unexpected costs associated with either property, etc.)All three considerations were very important to me, but for my peace of mind, number three was the deciding factor.With this strategy, it could seem that I am making less money since I am racking up new debt on the rental I owned to begin with, but the way I see it, the appreciation I will get in a few years and the actual cashflow that I am still getting were completely worth it.
