When they print $ into existence that's inflationary, most get this.

They can share what to watch for and potential off-market deals.If you want, I can give a quick checklist of what to inspect and questions to ask the seller before committing.

That experience lit the fire for me to learn more about the business and investing side of real estate, and now I’m fully committed to diving in.Right now, I’m focused on wholesaling.

But, between April 2024 and March 2025, foreign buyer activity surged—78,100 existing homes were purchased (a 44 % increase), with total transaction value reaching ~$56 billion.

I'd rather not take the legal route but need some commitment that they'll pay the outstanding amount shortly.  

It used to be 6 months from sale would be good enough (30 years ago).I could go hard money, but I would want to watch the pre-pay penalty, points and interest.I will most likely hold onto the property for 2 years as residence if I don't use hard money.You won’t be able to obtain a conventional 80% mortgage by having the seller carry the 20% balance without committing mortgage fraud - lenders will require the down payment from the borrower and require you to sign statement declaring that the source of the down payment is not borrowed funds.  

Is it better to put down 20% and use a bank loan or is it better to Take Over Existing Loan - How Do I do that?

I'm curious what other pain points exist in the space.

.: Did you know that if you buy a $400,000 property . . .In a typically bank financing scenario you put down 20% or $80,000 and finance $320,000 for 30 years the Principal and Interest at 7% is $2,129 and over 30 years you pay $766,428 (the bank loves you)BUTif you take over a loan using a Wrap (Wrap To, it takes about $15,000 in costs) and take over the existing mortgage at 2.5% that was taken out 2 years ago your payment Principal and Interest is $1,264 ($865 a month less) and over the remaining 28 years pay $447,894 (you get to keep the difference)That's a savings of $318,534 Three times a Year!

Regarding the other post on companies doing due diligence, they exist, Mick Law, Factright and others provide sponsor due diligence reports (They are not cheap), but they are very very detailed (we had a factright report done), and most sponsors would not pass the sniff test, which is why they do not get them.
