So I have this lead who owes 283k on a vacant home thats comped with a conservative ARV of 350K. needs about 25k in cosmetic repairs (over estimating it to be safe). 4,300 sq ft, 4 bd 4.5 bath, in ground pool, hot tub, fancy stuff but some leak caused mold on the ground floor, some professional quoted him 5k to clean up.The point is he wants 290k and the margins are too small to wholesale. naturally i think how can i get this to work via seller financing since the % equity is relatively small.

Due to the nature of my wife and I's work schedule I think I am going to have to rely on external property management at first.
