The theory­­­­—or the hope, at least—is that the buyer will eventually refinance that payment with a traditional lender, armed with improved creditworthiness and having accumulated some equity in the home.Seller Financing for BuyersFor all the potential pluses to seller financing, transactions that use it come with risks and realities for both parties.

That's an open-ended question but for me - and I invest in mostly C-Class - prior to buying I look at:-Crime-Mapping (one can also call the local police dept. and ask about the property in question - they'll connect you with an officer who works the area and can give you the reality of the crime and if it's getting better or worse)-Literally drive to the property on a Friday or Saturday evening and sit in the car for a bit to get a feel of what goes on-Look at the rents.

A lot of landlords are advised to put their properties in the name of an LLC for asset protection.While this is basically true, the reality isn’t what most landlords think.If a legal issue occurs with your property resulting in a lawsuit, there’s a decent chance the plaintiff’s attorney will be successful in “piercing the corporate veil” of your LLC and being able to sue you directly.
