is this going to be a house you will rent out, or reside in, or use in a sandwich lease/option, If a Sandwhich L/O the thing to do is find a potential tenant/buyer that has $2-3,000 in option consideration money, you then use this to give to your seller, he inturn gives you owner carry terms, YOU inturn give YOUR T/B owner carry terms with a larger purchase price and higher interest rate to further the spread and increase the profit. hope this helps

If you can get that much option consideration,that’s great.You just want to make sure that you have a lease agreement and a option agreement and keep them seperated from each other.If it ever came down to the tennant taking you to court the judge may look at it as a sell and then you may have to foreclose instead of evict.
