The key to starting is identifying a property that offers solid cash flow potential in a stable market, and securing financing that fits your situation—whether that’s a conventional loan or an FHA loan if you plan to owner-occupy.It’s common to hesitate due to fear of making mistakes, but the reality is that practical experience is invaluable.

Hey BP Fam —I’m in the process of structuring a potential seller finance or subject-to deal with my neighbor here in Granbury, TX, and I want to make sure everything is done by the book and protects both parties.Quick context:Seller is elderly and very trusting, so I’m prioritizing clarity, legality, and peace of mind for herProperty has an existing mortgage at 4.375%She’s open to letting me take over payments, and we’re looking at options like subject-to, wraparound, or seller financeI’m not looking to cut corners or “hack” the process — just want to do it the right way, avoid trouble, and keep this deal safe, simple, and cleanI’m specifically looking for a real estate attorney in Texas (bonus if you’re familiar with Hood County or the DFW area) who:✅ Understands creative finance deals (SubTo, wraps, seller carries)✅ Can draft documents that protect both sides✅ Has worked with title companies that are SubTo-friendly✅ Ideally understands how to minimize due-on-sale riskAny referrals or recommendations would be seriously appreciated!

We have already met with the zoning department and they have provided verbal support for our plan.For exit strategy I will either sell the individual parcels to a manufactured home dealer, or install manufactured (such as modular) homes on each lot and sell them individually to owner-occupants.

Quote from @Angela Pham: I recently closed on a 5+ multi-family, the bank would only finance 60% of the purchase price (DSCR loan) and I had to come up with the other 40% + closing cost - in the form of a HELOC secured with my primary home.

Or if you paid cash seller financing?

One thing you might try is reaching out directly to landlords or owners who’ve held for a while but may be tired of managing.

I have not landed my first deal and have been very intrigued with the creative financing options that are available.
