The other is in the low 500s but stated that this is due to a car accident totaling her car and is in litigation, so she is not paying on the loan. 

Because my equity is high, my ROE is low, but seems to make a boost on ROE if I payoff the remaining mortgage, which surprised me.

They’re relocating out of town and would like to sell by the beginning of the year.Here are the key details:Current rent: $1,850/month (tenant is month-to-month, wants to stay)Market rent estimate: $2,200–$2,350/monthTenant history: Has been there for about a year; was paying $2,150 at their prior rental, so an increase to $2,000+ should be manageable.Seller’s situation: They owe about $156,000 on the property and want to net around $100,000 after all taxes and fees.Existing mortgage rate: 3.5%Wholesaler offer: $287,000My position: I just bought a fixer-upper, so most of my cash is tied up, but I can access around $100,000 from a HELOC at 6.5% (15-year draw / 15-year repayment).Question:Is there a way to creatively structure a deal that allows me to leverage the seller’s existing low-interest mortgage — even though it’s not officially assumable?

The season is not super long if you are focused on the lake crowd, if you are in areas for hunting though that does certainly open up some other avenues.

KW actually teaches all of that.If you’re investor-minded (BP crowd), that’s another advantage:I’m an active investor/agent, flip properties, and run a sales team—and KW gives me the freedom to operate.

There have been multiple close calls, bids that were slightly outbid, offers considered but just a touch too low. 

Looking for an area that isn’t overly crowded like Myrtle Beach, preferably older demographic with a high preference for ease of resale. 

. 🙏 You're entering a very crowded market - so, if I were you (which I was at one point), I'd niche down hard into a PAINFUL part of a real estate investor's journey.

Prefer to keep my distance from Airbnb and the Airbnb crowd.

I used to be a part of that crowd of people who would self advertise a TON, but some people are absolutely ridiculous with how much they post and I think it's up to others to give them "criticism" so that way they aren't polluting the forums
