So unless you have 20-30% for the down payment on a 5 -50 million dollar apartment building/complex, then you are going to need to raise money for that.

The funds will be used for my down payment and the rest will be used as emergency funds.

There are plenty of apps out there that can make paying bills easier, and peer-to-peer payment tools (Venmo, Zelle, etc) make it pretty easy to add a description so that you know what they payments or for.

Only problem is with a short term my monthly mortgage payment will be 2K, and will cut deep into my cashflow during that time.With a little work I can get my COC to 3.1% per month for that 12 years.Appreciation is about average in this area and I expect to get about 4% annually maybe 5%. 

I would have no information on the person other than the passport, the deposit, the cash payment, and the lease.  

We have a mortgage payment and pay for the electric bill.

I had wrapped my head around residential not around commercial, But to me the deal seems amazing - you guys tell me 8000 sq. ft building7 storefronts on an active downtown street (all rented and currently have tenants)34 unit mini storage in back lot (29 units rented - the rest of the unrented are being used by the current owner)Asking price is $798,000 and owner is ok with seller financingAfter sitting with them today the owner who is 83 said he is ok seller financing and verbally agreed to $715,000 and a 4% interest rate, 30 year note, $100,000 down payment, no early payoff penalty - my lender and real estate agent both came back valuing the property as it sits at $840,000Income = Rentals ($5075) Storage Units ($1935) = $7010speaking with the owner he hasn't raised the rent on either the storefronts or mini storages for almost 10 years - looking at comparables in the area we believe we can raise the rent and storage units easily to push the income up to $10,000 a month 4 of the 7 Tenants have been there 5 years plusCost = Including estimated payment, taxes, insurance ect. would come to a monthly of = $4450that would cashflow $2560 a month at its current with the potential after purchase and rent adjustments cashflow $5460 a monthPending an inspection the property looks in good shape with little to none improvements needed at this timeA quick background I have had rentals before on the farm we own, three houses we rented out so I have some experience) My QuestionsIs this a good deal???

this will help with the administrative tasks (e.g. yearly 1099, pay off statements, accounting especially if the borrower pays faster) as well as helping to provide a 3rd party proof of non-payment in case you need to foreclose.Be sure to use an attorney that specializes in Notes, not necessarily a real estate attorney, to draft the paperwork and protect your interests.Good luck.

We tried getting them on payment plans but it didn’t work.

Find someone that will loan you the money or partner with you on it that is non traditional like an investor that buys directly at foreclosure auctions in the area.
