Any success stories with seller-financing/land contracts? I’m trying to find ways to scale without having to save 20% for investment properties.

Land Contract is never a good idea for a buyer, too much can go wrong and result in you essentially forfeiting your equity

Well my plan was to start as a land contract, to avoid having to pay a 20% deposit, then to get a mortgage with a bank. My credit is good I just want to find a loop hole to having to save 20%…

Land contract can work well. Many do it.just make sure the contract is clear snd everyone is in agreement

Hi all - any advice for a first time real estate investor looking to make their first purchase at the end of 2021.

I plan on saving $50K, for a $350-400K property in the Long Island, NY area for my first property. Does this sound reasonable? And does anyone have any experience & advice investing in the LI area?

Id like to rent it out for some positive cash flow that I can then start using to save for my 2nd property (sounds easy when I type it).

Thanks all for your input - stay safe!

Bought at low in market just after COVID hit. I want to keep the building. Seems fair to give him his initial investment back + some additional money for market gains. Help!
