I have a home that I bought for 600K+ about 38K closing costs, interest 2.875%, I've owned it 3 years and owe 220K on it.

To increase your chances of finding the right property, expand your search criteria, use multiple platforms like MLS, and network with local professionals like real estate agents, property managers, and wholesalers.

@Justin SegarraI've rented by the room on 2 properties in Reno, NV close to the University to young professionals and students. 

In this instance, the sponsor and all the various fund of funds will be collectively making $1.65mm the day this deal closes.  

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Depending on how much it is, you can pay them the difference at closing or via contract..The 'cleanest' solution is likely a new conventional purchase mortgage.

Just closed on a property in Hyde Park great opportunities for buyers right now.I prefer to be closer to the Gulf Beaches there is more to do in terms of Beach, Boating, waterfront dining and more.

I am closing on my first commercial property (under an LLC), which will be owner-occupied for our business.

Was able to have the seller pay all closing cost and fees (over $25,000) How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I am meeting with an agent as well next week, but i think getting an input from other investors would be great as well.
