@Bill Jones:
That is amazing information! I am guessing you wouldn't suggest to the seller they contact their lender regarding transaction.

Absolutely, again it's like buying with nothing down AKA OPM other peoples money. Example....
Think of buying with no money down as 100% financing. In other words you're going to borrow all or most of the money needed to purchase the property.
Here's what I mean. You find a suitable property for let's say $100,000 the seller owes the bank $75,000 how to we purchase the property? You offer to take the property "subject to" the existing bank loan, and ask the seller to loan you some of his $25,000 equity by holding a note for $12,500 called a wrap or an AITD all inclusive trust deed.
Then you borrow another $12,500 using your credit card or from a third party who you would give a note secured by a second mortgage on the property as security for the down payment money.
Congratulations you just purchased a property for 100% financing or no money down.
I should mention here that most of you will have different reasons for needing the information found in these postings. Maybe you have good credit but no money. Or you have the money for a down payment but no credit.
The example used above is just one of the many ways the purchase could have been accomplished. However, by using other no money down or creative financing techniques such as a land contract, a lease option or equity sharing may be advantageous for you as a buyer or seller. We will explore all of these techniques in detail and more in subsequent postings.
But no mater what technique you're going to use you want to make sure it's a win win for the both of you, however the one with the better knowledge of creative financing will ultimately come out on top. So it's very important that you have an understanding of your creative financing options so that you as the buyer or seller and not the other party can use the correct or best way to structure the deal.
My lessons favors the buyer and will first point out their best approach and secondly the sellers approach. You as buyer or seller will have to determine the technique that works best for your situation. With that said let's get to it....Next time
If you need any help structuring any type of deal give me a shout

This is an amazing example! What would be the terms of the seller carry back?

Hello everyone, this coming monday I will be my first meeting with an RE attorney that I graciously found here on BP. I am interested in knowing your opinion as to what specific questions I should ask of her as an attorney and for me as an investor.
What did you ask your attorney? Whatever comes to mind would be appreciated.

@Nat C. I agree that its eventually going to be a goldmine. However we need to be careful and avoid being speculators, like @Jessica Swingle said.
Thanks @John E. You are all right. I guess need to start focusing my efforts and after I learn and experience enough, expand slowly. I just really want to make this happen. Honestly, I am tired of having limitations regarding finances. I guess some days I should take a step back and take a real deep breathe. Life here we come!

@Jerald Alford You are right. We all need to start somewhere. In your contract do you have any contingencies that could allow you to bail if one or many are not met?
Maybe you could post your contract and let some of the seasoned investors here could help you wiggle out.

@Jerald Alford How did you come to the conclusion at the moment you put the properties under contract that they were "good" deals? Excuse me if I am wrong, however seems like you rushed into the deal without due diligence. What do you think?
