I am not at a stage where I have an interest to market to off market motivated sellers.

HUD suspended foreclosures and rent payments which seems to me like it will make finding motivated sellers even more difficult.

Thanks, @Barry Pekin Yeah I'm trying to figure out if the best way is to contact the lender of the motivated seller if they're interested in that type of deal structure and talk with them first to see if they're okay with that before getting it under contract or not.

I would proceed with 'caution'... could the tenant have an alternative motive?

If you double the number of units you own each year it would look something like this:Year 1: 1 Unit - $2,400/yrYear 2: 2 Units - $4,800/yrYear 3: 4 Units - $9,600/yrYear 4: 8 Units - $19,200/yrYear 5: 16 Units: $28,800/yrAnd so on...Building a real estate income of $5,000+/month is certainly possible within five years but would most likely take a good amount of capital (or some great partnerships) to achieve.

@Santoria Weems, love the motivation and passion!

I would think that 4.25% or something relatively close to it is achievable.
