I think 21st Mortgage might have a program so check with them.

Thank you for the offer :)

The lease (with the current college students) was just renewed through their 2025 school year.I'm trying to figure out how to make this happen with little-to-no money down, as I have other 'irons in the fire' at the moment.I'm planning to offer $400-450k for the home, and am trying to structure something where a conventional lender would loan an amount that would be covered by the current rental rate (lets just say $300-350k)...   ...then, anything outside of that amount, would be carried by the Seller (for a short while)...   ...Seller financed with a ballon in 5-years?  

What can you offer in return?

On the other hand, renting out your home could provide steady income to cover your mortgage and offer tax benefits, all while maintaining your current low mortgage rate.

Made this offer a few times over course of 6 months and gave up on it and the seller came back with favorable contract.

However, recently a good friend of mine from church (who happens to have an extensive experience in RE) offered me to partner up to help me start and without me having to put any money, just asked me to contribute to him by finding a low cost deal, help with the process and he promised me to split profits equally if either selling or holding.

Understanding these metrics and their evolution over time offers valuable insights into risk management and risk-adjusted returns. 

I am thinking of making an all-cash offer to purchase a SFR with existing fire damage in the kitchen at a price well below market value The property is in otherwise solid condition and in a great neighborhood.

Getting a contractor can be extremely frustrating especially if you need to make an offer without even looking at the property.
