The thought being that they can be motivated to sell after getting tired of dealing with property that they don't live in.  

I got tired of day to day so put the condo plat on it and 2X the value buy selling individual condos... 

While I am too tired to figure out what interest rate she was assuming and what downpayment (she did not list these metrics,) all these properties are right around the 1% rule.Having dealt with “turnkey” providers in other markets (I have no experience with any of those in the Cleveland area,) I’ve learned to find my own agents, who do nothing but represent buyers and sellers.

Bond for Deed must be French Law.. never heard that term in my 44 years of real estate.I am assuming its a debt instrument like a mortgage or deed of trust.Zero % financing is great.. as long as your not paying double what its really worth.with those terms it leads me to believe that the seller is tired of managing this and the management could be Hi touch lots of work.. so if you think your ready.. that s a pretty decent deal in my mind..

Tired landlords are a good source for deals too.  

I spent a little over 2K last month on PPC, got a lot of tire kickers and a few buy and hold deals, but no flips.

Hope to have a VA soon as I am tired of working in my business instead of own.

The lease has to be at least 30 years, but can run up to 99 years.This investor says he has great success at it, as he targets owners of small commercial properties who owned it for a long time, too old and tired to handle the operational responsibility, but can't sell because of the capital gains issues.In fact, he started on this type of investment as a no money down approach to acquiring properties, which turned into helping sellers with capital gains issues.Honestly I think it's simpler than a 1031, for the lessor that is.

Offer to renovate the signage at the front of the property, if it's looking a bit tired or needs painting. 

Lots of tire kickers!
