I can't imagine a seller would agree to cover the cost out of pocket if they are doing seller financing, unless they had money and were desparate.  

So when I search for a place based on price, you come in ahead of her on the search, even though you might cost more.

So I’ve been listening to bigger pockets a lot, and am learning that a BRRRR method is a good method for making money.

I’m Cheyenne, my husband and I are just starting out on this real estate journey in the Detroit area and the plan is to begin with single family fix and flip (or use the BRRRR method starting with single family homes).

Pete FL for around $75k, you just have to come up with the best floorplan and use that will justify the land cost.

Subject to seems to be more ideal to avoid any confusion over ownership, but it sounds like a pretty involved process that could cost time and money (whereas the other approach is free and simple).Any insights/advice would be appreciated!

What are the new costs, terms, conditions, years?

SEO is more of a "brand recognition" method than a lead generation thing, it will pay off down the road but you'll have to be consistent for 1-2 years before you start to see results...

Look for places that are investor friendly, have expanding growth and still have a relatively low housing cost such as Florida. 

It helps you learn landlording on-site and also offsets the costs and your living.
