I called the number on the sharpie marker sign and a few days later I met up with the owners and walked the property.it's a well maintained (on the outside) duplex on a large double-lot with tons of parking.

Here are a few reasons sellers might offer seller financing when selling their property.

It's ok, I have enough wiggle room to offer 1800 and get this rented soon(ish).

Here are some strategies that could help you connect with potential investors through a forum like this or other networking avenues:Build Your Presence: Start by actively participating in discussions, sharing your experiences, and offering advice based on your own real estate dealings.

I have loved real estate ever since I was a kid, and we used to walk properties being built for fun when I was growing up.

However, the area has a slightly shady reputation, which makes me a bit cautious.As a first-time investor, I could really use some guidance on what key factors I should consider before making an offer.

Any help would be great Today it really boils down to the sponsors experience, how much you need and how much equity the sponsor is putting into the deal.You could look at similar types of deals in the area and see if you can find out who some of the investors were in that offering.

What interest rate range do you typically offer? 

Source a few contractors, walk them through the property, and ask them each for their best quote for a full gut renovation. 

A duplex is what we wanted to do with the lot so it is great seeing they offer a floor plan for those too.I would love anymore input you may have on their experience you could share.Thanks again!
