It was his idea!!

I am currently considering the idea of getting certified as an appraiser, but would love to hear your suggestions.

I like your idea of passing lawn care back to them and giving them the $200 concession.

What are your ideas?

Does any one have any ideas on how to combine the two?

@Daniel M Gibson sticking to fundamentals and your "gut" is always the best course.Unlike 99% of the investors on this site, my take is that investing for cash flow is a bad idea...it creates a jaundiced view of how things work...meaning that investing is about controlling assets as wisely as possible...not immediate cash flow.I use seller carried loans routinely because I'm in for the long haul (and I don't need rental income to survive)...as long as the purchase price makes sense, I could care less about income...the concept is debt paydown and future equity.
