You can have the seller hold a note for a % of the purchase price, that is the best way to structure it.Another creative way to get it done is to cross collateralize your properties (If you have other properties with enough equity in them, that might be a possibility)

Next door in Hall county my son bought a move-in ready home two years ago for 169 and just sold it in 3 days for 265 (15 over asking).We border on Lake Lanier which is man-made and has aprox 12 million miles of shore line.

George Utah, an extremely booming area just across the Utah-Arizona border.

That means separate credit cards and accounts and no cross mingling.

Fingers crossed on that.

Fingers crossed. 

Cross-reference that with county court records to see if they have a criminal background. 

Again, I haven't had to cross this bridge myself but it just seems like there should be a better way. 

A promissory note will be used, we have not decided if we will use morgages or cross-collaterization.

Just by following some of the principles and listening to the podcasts, I was able to get multiple listings AS WELL AS off market deals (& even one for ourselves that we'll end up keeping that will hopefully turn into a nice rental *fingers crossed*) with little to no training in real estate.
