In the same senario, a seller finance deal, should/can I have someone (I'm not sure who actually does this, please let me know) come and inspect the property before I agree to purchase?

I've made several posts in the past where I was looking and making attempts to purchase my first property that fell through due to issues found during inspections or not being able to come to terms I was happy with...The last one I found actually worked out and I closed on it a month ago.

I have actually passed my real estate license exam out here and look forward to becoming a successful agent.

I understand that deal analysis is based on a fully rented scenario but I am just interested in how many people actually achieve getting paid to live in their property.Thanks!

You're actually look at a seller financed "wrap mtg", which is a form of sub2, with the seller carrying the balance.  

I think you actually helped my husband and I look for a house several years back - we are now selling our house to jump in head first to real estate investing!

@Ryan Coleman They are appearing on Public Record, so not while actually searching for properties on MLS.

Or should I aim for whichever position that will provide a quicker path to a higher salary, therefore allowing me to actually invest in projects?

Hey Daniel, I am actually a licensed broker in NC so I'm pretty familiar with market Cap rates and it looks pretty good. 

Every property is different, and its always better to have actual records, but not always possible.
