Sheila,
Conventional mortgages are a major part of our operation and to date have been extremely beneficial
One clue in your writing was “15,000 out of pocket”
Well who’s pocket? Some sellers we have worked with loaned us the down payment money in the form of a note payable @ a reasonable rate of interest.
Other sellers just want the monthly income w/o rental hassles, That is where a Lease option comes in to play.
Those are just two of many creative ideas. Talk to the seller let them know your interest and concerns when both parties want the same thing (change of ownership) then it can be worked out.
