Buy the properties subject to the sellers loans staying in place and have the sellers carry a 2nd mortgage for the balance minus what you agree on for a down payment.

Also if you are doing flipping, in which case I suggest you look into Series-LLC and you operate each flip in its own child-series (if not clear why, ask for more details).I spent numerous hours researching from multiple sources the whole LLC question and asset protection matter and all the rabbit holes it opens.

My income is $140k gross (software engineer), my wife currently stays at home with our child, but could go bring in $30k-$40k if needed.My question is if we put the $150k down (with $100k via a HELOC), rent out the back, and do some airbnb ($100-$150 in the area) with the extra rooms in the main house.   

I'm looking for a small multi family in the area that I could stay in when I'm there and let the other unit(s) post the mortgage.

Just curious what's the record here for the longest staying tenant in one of there doors ?

Mobile Home Title Transfer 50 States (Personal Property/Inside parks)Hi all,Hope everyone reading this is doing great and staying productive. 

I have made that a goal for myself and find that I am able to make connections at a faster rate when I am active in the forums: people notice and might feel like I am 'here to stay' when they see I didn't introduce myself and then disappear off the site. 

I’m moving to a new city (Dallas) for my first decent paying job and I’ll have the option to owner-finance a house for 5-10% down (and be much closer to work) or stay with my sister (for very cheap) and save up 20% to get a conventional to buy a rental.Which would you do, BP?
