Thanks, Gary Neely Gary, Just use you standard state contract and write out the terms of your seller financing in an addendum or on the OTP itself if there's lines for additional provisions.Be clear and concise.Example,Seller will carry a promissory note secured by a 1st position mortgage in the amount $97,583.00, at 6% interest, amortized over 30 years, witha a maturity date and balloon payment due 10 years after the closing date.Hope this helps and certainly get an attorney involved if you are not comfortable drafting the language.  

She connected me with so many people (home inspector, insurance agent, lender etc), but allowed me to handle communication with them directly so that I was aways in the loop with what was going on.

If you mean damage, poor cleanliness etc then AirBNB takes the cake for us.If you mean guests that need extra help, like maybe how to connect to the WiFi or how the little restaurant in town is then I guess that VRBO guests might be a bit more needy.

Connect with a local real estate agent in your chosen market who is knowledgable in investing4.

They need to have a high risk appetite, they probably need to have a connection with and know the country.What I'd do specifically is go and live for a while in Buenos Aires, one of my favorite cities in the world and get to know people there (don't pitch right away).

For the smell, buy an ozone machine off amazon (have the unit empty while it is running-same with upstairs if the airflow is connected).

Did close to $9k in March.

I agree, properties near the water appreciate well as more people like to be close to the beach.

I'm eager to connect with individuals who have knowledge or insights to share about this side of the industry. 

We talk about REI on here-- the closing process will vastly be changed via AI.
