Have a die test to see where the drain field is and a hydraulic load test to see if it's saturated.

The first two, a townhome and a single family, rented very quickly and things were smooth.

In my journey, I become a Realtor to learn how to find deals and put together transactions for the betterment of my family and as my retirement plan.

From there you get the person's name, the address (sometimes), the parcel #, and a few more bits of info.

In addition, they are either 100% occupied and receiving rent or 100% vacant and a big expense, where a duplex can be 50% occupied and when you have turn over or a non-paying tenant you still have some rent coming in.   

So we found a property that had great potential for a value add option by building out the attic and adding 2 bedrooms, a bathroom/laundry room and a loft that would increase the square footage by 800 square feet.

A split payment partial purchase letting the seller continue to receive a portion of the payment each month and a lump sum of cash.Amount to Investor Each Month: $778.21Amount to Seller Each Month: $209.07Buying a portion of each monthly payment provided a return on investment of 12.5% yield in an asset backed by real estate.A third party escrow company serviced the note payments.

Am I still able to finance this deal with a downpayment and a traditional 30 year fixed loan? 

Ill be sure to reach out to Icon to get their rates and services, I've been in contact with AIM and they have quoted me at 9% flat with no additional charges but I haven't spoken to anyone who has used them before and a referral goes a long way.
