For example I see properties for sale for $80k that would have a small cash flow after some rehabbing and refinancing/pulling cash out, but if financing these would be difficult, then I need to look at properties over $100k.

@Jose Julio, I joined only 2 weeks ago but already the "Tribe" has made it completely worth it to me, I have been teamed up with mentor(s) who ARE on my cash buyers list and help me add to it, they also put me onto the right title companies to use and contracts.

.- Only allows Rate/Term but we could add a HELOC on top of it to access cash in this instance up to 95% CLTV.Long story short, there are ways but you'd have to get creative and be over 62. 

You still have a few options in terms of acquiring the home.If you own a primary home you could do a cash out refinance pay off or down all of your debts.

Selecting the right tenant is probably equally important than selecting the property to buy in the first place - in a way the house is not cash flowing, it's the tenant.

David,Why sell if its a future retirement that will offer equity/cash flow.

unless this property is unsalable on the open market or your selling it for far more than its worth this is a Pass full stop.. 4% is not even close to market rate for seller financing it should be 8 to 10%and if you need cash then you have factor that into their down payment.

Some places are cash, some no cash, only cashiers checks or money orders. 

Purchase price: $135,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Sale price: $345,000 Had an opportunity to purchase this property from the owner...I own the next door home, it is an Airbnb.

Hi Ashlee, I'm just wondering if this is one of those scenarios when it's time to offer a tenant "Cash for Keys".
