This enables me to do a better job at marketing the property.

When i was researching different brokerages, my RE teacher gave me some advice:  they aren't interviewing you, YOU are interviewing THEM!  

Professional Liability – protects you from tenant claims of discrimination and wrongful eviction brought on by your property manager’s actionsErrors & Omissions – protects you from property manager making a wrong decision that costs you money (enables you to file a claim to recoup your costs)Workers Compensation – protects you against personal injury claims from the property manager’s employees and subcontractors when they work on your propertyGeneral Liability – protects you against property damage or bodily injuries caused by your property manager’s employees and subcontractorsFiduciary/Crime – protects you against the mishandling or theft of your money that’s in the care, custody and control of your property manager

Having all that equity on day one, enables an investor to use it right away (either via a sale, or taking it out via a home-equity line).

This is my long term vision.I am excited to learn from you all and embark on this new journey.I am still a High School Teacher during the day but the excitement of the Real Estate industry is what keeps me up at night.I also have gotten rid of my 30 year mortgage and am using a HELOC to pay off my home early.

We broke through the real estate paralysis about a year ago and that has enabled me to leave the 9-5 behind.

Also, there are a number of companies offering solar power purchase agreements (PPAs)  that enable you go solar for little or no upfront investment.

I work closely with all kinds of investors as my company provides self-directed retirement plans enabling our clients diversify out of the stock market and invest into non-traditional assets.

I agree with the points in the previous post.Seller financing (at better than market terms) is good for buyers because they may be able to buy more building on a limited amount of equity invested, and it is good for sellers because it may enable them to get a higher price. 

She was the best RE teacher I've ever had, hands down!
