If you don't really want to hold the note, you're better off having the buyer find their own financing.If you want to sell the note on the secondary market, most note buyers will want a discount.

This also means only 2 kitchens, bathrooms, waterheaters, etc and not 4! 

Purchase price: $235,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Property details: 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom single family house.

Im able to get discounts on these properties too but able to ease my seller to move forward and accommodate them without putting the stress on them of completing the repairs themselves. 

The only area I have to repair is in the guest bathroom there was two sconce light fixtures and he had to make the hole a little bigger than it already was.

Basement has a huge 1 bedroom with closet space, full kitchen, full bathroom and also had separate entrance.

In my market, duplexes sell at a marked discount to single family homes (for comparable size and finish quality, can be 30-40% depending on submarket).  

For instance, you may ask your Properties Manager to brief you about the up-to-date cost of rehabbing a 2 Beds, 1 Bathroom average-sized unit in the market.

My house is an older 3/1 that I am interested in bumping out a rear bedroom and adding a bath that backs up to the current bathroom so I can have a master suite.
