While alternative options, such as a lower down payment, can be considered, be cautious of potential downsides like higher interest rates and limited repayment flexibility.

Actually, I would have the cost/downside of locking up an interest in the existing property, but I'm ok with that.I just came across this strategy and I'm not sure if it's actually possible.

That is a non-starter for me, unless there is more upside potential on rent from repositioning the property.Seems like duplexes, triplexes and quads are very popular on BP but they have some significant downsides vs single family and apartments. 

I've gotten a few of them back, but always resold at a higher profit and started the clock over.The downside is that over the years some buyers have refinanced and some have sold so my income has dropped from $130K/year to about $45K.

The downside is that when you do the redemption you are paying a lot of money in interest and penalties to the guy who bought it from you.

But it's different.The biggest downside is that I struggled to find value add deals.

If anyone has and can give me some general information of what to ask or look out for in regards to the business lease as well as the upside/downside to this particular setup it would be greatly appreciated.

One big downside is the timeline to close it and the hoops to jump through.

I understand the downsides to doing this, but has anyone sold a house with an existing loan on a contract for deed?  

I didn't quite understood and wanted to reply to the discussion with my questions, but the site kept asking me to setup a company first, so I couldn't get around that and had to post a separate discussion.So here are my questions.Are there any downsides to using Cozy.co to collect rents?
