OK Thanks for taking a minute to answer this question.
I was making calls to landlords on craigslist and asked a guy if he knew anyone that would be willing to sell their rental and he indicated that he would be interested. I asked if he would consider Seller Financing and he said yes again... My question is at what price would this be a deal that i should consider? Here are the details:
Locations is great and right off the interstate. B neighborhood
This is a 4 plex with but only with 2 meters ( was a duplex converted to a 4plex )
This could be my first rental property, I want something that is low maintenance, something i can get my feet wet with and am willing to take lower cash flow. On top of that... Seller Financing is the only option for me at this point to build my portfolio as i don't have the capital or LTV. Thoughts?
Well, I think letting a bunch of BP investors know about this deal, including the contact info and address was very trusting on your part :-) You probably shouldn't give your competition all the details like that.
Make sure the guy is really the owner before you give him any money.
I'll let the other investors advise you on the numbers.
Have you figured what your cost will be? Who will be paying for the extra utilities above the 175? What are taxes, insurance, trash, and lawn care expenses? I would want to see his expenses. Also what would payment and interest rate be?

As an agent I'd imagine you could pull comps. Small residential property value is most heavily weighed by comparables, of course. Nobody outside your area will be able to help as to value. Pretend it's a listing or something.
Not sure why you have no money, but my last couple seller financed deals have been at 90% of PP at 6% for 24 yr straight am. Without the 10% down, they would not have been.
