The house had been sitting for awhile and was a fixer so it gave us leverage to ask for a seller buy down.

Many sellers seem to be sticking with their target price or close to it. 

Bottom line, make it so that you never need the seller again after the transaction is closed.

@Chloe Mariant Seller financing for raw land is usually one of the better options. 

I'm seeing opportunities in Colombia, Perú, Argentina, Panamá, and México.But, unless you're located IN one of these countries, it's probably not the place to learn real estate investing.That said, you should know that the amount of capital you have has ZERO bearing on whether you can get started in real estate.If you know how to property recognize and analyze a deal and you are able to get prospective sellers to tell you their problems, you're well on your way to becoming an investor.However, you could have a million dollars in your pocket, but if you can't recognize nor analyze a deal and can't talk to sellers, you're no investor.

Seller financing and subject-to can work well if you find motivated sellers, especially in off-market deals.

Look into seller financing or a short-term rehab loan to cover both purchase and repairs, especially if the ARV supports it.

What I keep seeing is that most sellers who’ve already put serious work into the property are leaving money on the table when they don’t plug into the right financing channel + investor base. 

REsimpli – CRM to manage lead stages and follow-upsI’ve also built my own deal analyzer and property walkthrough checklist in Google Sheets.My Game Plan:Pull 500+ leads/weekSkip trace and load into REsimpliUse CallRail for all seller calls/textsReach out to 30–50 sellers daily.

I have looked at finding an operator that would be open to carrying the note.A lot of businesses that sell for less than $3mil are based on SDE, Sellers Discretionary Earnings, which is similar to business profit, but you also remove any transactionst that would be related to the owner or one offs.
