One can't exist without the other, but nothing can happen without the financing unless you're paying all cash.Pretty properties are nice to look at on profiles and websites, but often unless you bought them ugly and made then pretty, they can be pretty ugly for the balance sheet.

What are the areas to invest in multifamily around Atlanta and areas to stay away, can anyone please shed light;I want to give property to management and will be a out of state investor, looking for a balance between appreciation and cash flow, class B- or c+; 5-7 year hold may be, at least 20 plus unit and less than 100.

Investors buy notes at a discount from the current principle balance and then collect the payments.

Original UPB "Unpaid Balance", Current UPB, Virtual Bank Appraiser "VB" and Book Value.

We have a contractor that is willing to do the work on the house with a down-payment and get paid the balance upon closing when we have our buyer.

Plus you will come across more deals or pocket listing you might be able to jump on in terms of good deals.As far as a 40 hour work week and investing its "Easy" you schedule your time wisely work, life balance, and REI searching at night.

BUT if it gets your deal done with less cash out of pocket, might be worth considering a higher rate until you can build some more equity/ pay down some of the balance, and the refi into something more reasonable in terms of rates.

My proposal is to assume the mortgage and offer her a note for the balance (10yr interest-only, 30-year amortizing), and I would be looking to refi the original mortgage at some point in the not-too-distant future once I have fixed the issues with the property.My questions are:Will my future lender learn the terms of the seller-financed mortgage by my declaring it on the loan application, or do they have some independent way to learn of its existence and its terms?

The balloon on all properties comes due on the 61st payment and the seller will be paid the balance.

What is a healthy balance of leverage to have?
