Quote from @Nate Marshall:

California is beginning to become a wasteland for anything economy wise. I don't see that changing. You really should look into the midwest, upper midwest and even states like Idaho, South Dakota and Wyoming. Great deals. Great properties. Low taxes and regulations. 

 What about the south?


 value add is the name of the game in California and right now they are really trying to make additional units accessible to the California real estate market .

I would move cautiously on this and consult with a real estate attorney that specializes in mortgage notes .

Quote from @Annalie Cao:

Hi all,

I have this property located in Huntington Beach, CA and the owner is willing to do seller finance of 1.2 mil with a 2 years balloon payment. He still have a mortgage of 800k, and his equity is 400k. He wanted 200k down payment which is 17%, and no interest. How can I structure this deal better to use as vacation home. It's currently making roughly $77,300 in gross income for 2023 number with an uncompleted dirt backyard, if I add a nicer backyard with jacuzzi and more backyard activities


It could potentially increase the rental income.

One way to structure this deal better for use as a vacation home is to negotiate a longer balloon payment period with the owner. Instead of a 2-year balloon payment, you could try to negotiate a longer term, such as 5 or 10 years, to give yourself more time to generate income from the property before needing to pay off the remaining balance.

Additionally, you could also propose a lower down payment amount to the owner. If you can negotiate a lower down payment, it would free up more cash for you to invest in improving the property, such as adding a nicer backyard with a jacuzzi and more backyard activities.

Another option could be to negotiate a lower purchase price for the property in exchange for a higher monthly payment to the owner. This could help reduce your initial investment and give you more flexibility in making improvements to the property.

Overall, the key is to negotiate a deal that works best for both you and the owner, allowing you to use the property as a vacation home while maximizing its income potential. Additionally, you may want to consult with a real estate attorney or financial advisor to ensure the deal is structured in a way that is advantageous for you.
