Episode notes
First Rental: $10K Seller Finance
- Kristina's first rental was a $10,000 purchase which she seller-financed to the existing tenant for five years.
- She held the note and the tenant paid it off without needing to refinance.
Create A Clear Buy Box
- Define a strict buy box: geography, bed/bath mix, and municipal rules to disqualify bad deals fast.
- Use your property manager's preferences as a filter so assets are easy to operate and maintain.
Use Private Lenders Per Deal
- Raise private money deal-by-deal and present a simple ROI and monthly payment email once under contract.
- Small, long-term private loans (10–15 years) allowed Kristina to avoid refinancing and scale rapidly.
