Joe: given my admittedly lack of experience in financing low value real estate does the fact that most lenders will not finance deals below a certain threshold account for the value of owner financing at a premium? Your deal then represents a value for a certain investor class of individuals who can not get traditional financing at a rate less expensive and with terms longer than they could get with hard money. Am I evaluating this in the right way?
