Hi @Wes Eaves
If you are doing NOO Non Occupied Seller Financing, Investor to Landlord, I believe there are no restrictions. Create any contract you want, but caveat emptor.
For OO Owner Occupied Seller Financing, Dodd Frank, CFPB et al applies.

You can not, as a landlord in Indy, have a legal lease and have tenants do repairs.

Hey BP,
So I have a lead on a house, all fixed up that has been on the market for awhile and the seller wants to go another route. The area is great and she is willing to come down a little on her price. It's free and clear and its listed for 209k. I think I can get her down to 190k. I know there are creative financing deals out there and this house is one I want in my portfolio since its in my target area. Any advice ???
Hi Shawn,
Free and clear house strategy: Offer Full Price, your payment, using an installment sale.
What is market rent?
What cash flow do you want?
Say 209K sales price, rent in market = $1,000
offer 210K $500 per month on installment sale (or about that)
Look up imputed interest on IRS tables, charge that

You want to sell benefits to owner
- maximizing her equity,
- creating a retirement asset she knows,
- Some money in Main Street, some in Wall Street
- offer her a quit claim if you do not pay her, held in escrow, with escrow instructions if you default
The key here for you is to
- get a property that is a good quality buy and hold rental,
- good cash flow,
- without a bank
- etc.
Sales Tip:
Compare to
- Annuity http://www.investopedia.com/university/annuities/
- Reverse Mortgage http://www.investopedia.com/search/default.aspx?q=...
Real Estate is about
Buy Cheap for under appraisal for cash
Buy Your Terms if you pay full price

Well my advice is for you to go on REIA president where you live and go split a deal with an experienced wholesaler

Hi all,I
Good afternoon. I love the board. I've been reading through the posts and have learned quite a bit.
I am in the mortgage industry and know general guidelines. I'm looking to try and figure out ways if using my IRA as a down payment for a rental? I do realize investment properties need 20% down. I have that 20% down available to me in an IRA that was a previous 401K from a previous company.
My goal is to purchase a $200K investment condo on the beach where most of the units are investment properties. I have three questions.
First, what kind of options do I have to take that 50K from the IRA and use towards the 20% down to purchase a condo? I say 20% because I am familiar with the conventional down payment of 20%.
Second, with these investment condos, how can I get an good idea on what the cash flow is? Will sellers ever provide tax returns or will the property management company provide rent-rolls and how do I know that they are accurate?
Third, what are the rates and terms (DTI, downpayment) for hard or private lenders these days? I have 820+ credit. In my business we always looking at DTI, so is this something that private or hard lenders do?
Thank you,
Kevin
Why BUY, instead LEND?
See
https://www.trustetc.com/investment-options/privat...
https://www.trustetc.com/search-results.aspx?searc...
LEND and do not deal with tenants, toilets, lawsuits, etc.

If I owned it, I would do a lease purchase, w 3% non refundable earnest money.
Get first and last months rent, plus 3%.
Sign a sales and purchase based on your property's comps now.
Have them fill out a 1003 fed mortgage app See
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y6mi2ueocnfa49u/Mortgage...
Go down to mortgage w 1003 app filled out.
Get something in writing that they can pre qualify.
Get a strong pro tenant's lease. see

Good luck!

Tracy,
There are many Licensed Investor Agents.
Being licensed allows many things. The thing about being licensed,
It is all about disclosure.
Act as a principal business owner and tell the seller:
