As long as you are able to prove its not a "true log cabin" you should be fine.Materials listed, it looks like that may be one that just resembles, but be sure to ask your agent first, or the seller before you spend time and $ on it. 

I take a few real estate classes and pay memberships to a few real estate groups, can I write them off only if I have an LLC, or can I do it personally?

I self manage while traveling full time all over the US.

Since that time, state laws have been amended to allow for home equity loans, but the laws include strong protections for consumers.

@Kyle Rucker- thanks ....you will have a tough time locating a 2nd loan for  180K +  ....Ask the realtor you are working with for options ...Make sure that the lender holding the FHA loan will be able to approve your assumption  request  ( this can be a long drawn out step ) .....if you do find a 2nd mtg - compare the fha loan and 2nd mtg  to a  simple new FHA or conventional loan as there may not be a large difference 

Hello Jennifer,For Seller Financing, you would write your offer just like you would with 3rd party financing.I would think that Florida Real Estate Commission has a Seller Finance Addendum to add to your contract, on the addendum you would fill out the terms you are proposing. 

If you're specifically looking for funding for real estate investments or rehabs, you might want to consider investment property lines of credit, business lines of credit or private lending.Let me know if this makes sense or you have any further questions.

I'm curious to learn from this community—what strategies, partnerships, or team-building techniques have you found most effective in scaling your real estate ventures?

Hi All,I received an accepted offer on a property but unfortunately was not able to find the funding in time.

My name is Steve fydenkevez, and my wife and I are looking to enter the world of real estate investment.
