I think the biggest reason I want my real estate license is so I am not at the mercy of an agent.  

I think the biggest problem is finding a rental deal that would support a positive cash flow under that financing 

My biggest issue so far is no being able to explain seller financing clearly enough to the seller because it is my first time in this situation.

As long as there are no hidden expenses or other downsides I would do it.

Energy is a major player but tech, healthcare, financial/insurance, manufacturing, and dozens more employment sectors have expanded dramatically dues to a very strong pro-business environment, reasonable cost of living, and quality of life factors.What are the downsides?

I can pay cash, close in 2 weeks but the biggest thing selling to me it will stop the foreclosure process salvage your credit, and we can help you find a place to move into."
