Must be a really good reason you drop that $80k into the property then.No money set aside for CapEx, if you really are planning on keeping the place for 10-15 years you should start to put something aside.Quick google of Carlsbad CA rent says a 2bed should rent for ~$2,100, so why only $5k in rent?

According to the realtor, this transaction has been approved by the hard money lender and title company already.I have set a firm price at $100k, which is a good deal for the buyer, but I'd like the quick sale.Here comes the sketchy part: They would like me to accept payment of $125k with $25k being commission for the realtor, which the realtor is then going to use to pay the down payment. 

Hey Dwight...your last name triggered a key alert in my settings and brought me to this thread as it's the name of a town in my investing area...lol  Might as well say hello and welcome while I'm here

Congrats on your decision to create financial freedom for you and your family.Start with determining a marketing budget, then a set of goals and reverse engineer from there.

I would set up a meeting and explain your situation. 

Do you specify redemption periods or set times for the buyer to refi or leave it open ended?

perhaps a second set of eyes on a potential project assessment / assumptions? 

Also a good caution to try and limit the time spent with buyer - agreement would likely be they can pick from a pre-selected set of options (or worst case, my partner the builder is fine with managing the coddling part)@Bryan Devitt agree, I've seen it done a lot around here as well.

After the divorce has settled in and one party is trying to make the payments instead of having two people make the payments, reality sets in of how stupid getting a divorce was in the first place.
