@Kyle HendricksNo - my priority on a seller finance deal is putting as little down as possible.  

I would like to start building my team now, and connect with a real estate agent and other professionals that will have my best interests as priority.

Showing effort can go a long way.Avoid threats or pressure – Since legal occupancy may be in question, trying to enforce rent without correcting violations could backfire, especially if the tenant escalates the issue to local authorities.Seek legal advice before proceeding – You’ll want to avoid taking action that could violate housing laws or tenant protections in your area.Getting the CFO should be a top priority, and once it's resolved, it’ll put you in a much stronger position moving forward.Hope this helps, and best of luck navigating it.

What is your #1 priority?

Finding a good contractor is tough even when you're local, so vetting them from afar is a huge priority. 

Like Michael said above, sometimes it's a boring plan, but it works if you strategize and can leave some room for growth.If short-term cash is your priority, flip it.

If those issues are still lingering that has to be your priority.

When you have that trust, they’re more likely to give you priority and fair pricing.

Once set up, it handled the basics well, but like any system, there are trade-offs depending on your priorities.

Candidly, even being a cpa, I wouldn’t say contacting a cpa until post-closing is a priority.
