Hello Bigger Pockets members. I am just sharing information about my potential third deal. The property is a 4 unit located in Tucson, Arizona. 

A little background first. Last year I bought my first two properties, a 4 plex in Phoenix, AZ which I bought with a conventional mortgage and 25% down payment, and a 4 plex in Tucson, AZ which I bought with an FHA loan and 3.5% down payment and owner occupy. The person that I bought the 4 plex in Tucson from actually owns another identical 4 unit property right next to the one he sold me.

So every once in a while I would see the guy as he fixed things and collected rents from his tenants. He often expressed how he was sick of being a landlord and was ready to sell the other property as well. Anyway fast forward to today and I tell him that I want to buy the other property from him. He agreed to owner finance the property with 20% down, 5.5% interest with 30 year amortization, and a 5 year balloon. Since I already own the property right next door, I know the price and cash flow are good, even though I will be paying a little bit more than I paid for the one I purchased last year. Also I am able to get around all of the bank's mortgage rules by owner financing and get into my third property a whole lot sooner than expected.
