How would you approach the seller to plant the idea of seller financing.Your best bet is to LBO the acquisition through packaging the business into a CDOYou'll take that CDO to private or commercial investors  

They buy at deep discounts and have economies of Scale to be able to wait out the time when Homes Prices and Rent Prices must rise eventually.It's a lose-lose for Mom and Pop but a Win-Win for Big Money Landlords.It's the complete opposite of what the Liberal's intentions wanted and they will fall into self-delusion that it's a Conspiracy of the Rich.

The landlord wins the eviction. 

It was a lot of effort on my part for a small win, and I'm glad I did it. 

What I also enjoy is when people put out articles with contradicting view points and in six months or a year point to the - "see how correct i was", well yeah you placed bets on both red, black and green so you were going to be correct because you bet on all options.

If your bet is appreciation, bet your underlying fixed costs go up.

Perhaps not a trend to consider across the city but any neighborhood that would attract college educated young professional families seems to be a good bet if you wanted to focus on this asset type.I plan to build 12 townhomes as a second phase of a condo/townhome project in a good area of Mount Airy near the Chestnut Hill boarder and even though I’m likely to years away from being ready to begin phase 2, my current plans are to keep the 12 homes as rentals for the precise reasons I outlined above.  

Which in NY means like 3 months of notices and then a court case and an additional two weeks past that even if you win. 

You have to know more than your competition to win and find the best deals.

The rest is luck: did it rain that weekend and did we have the right buyers walk through the door, to push the winning offer just the last bit.. you can't control that.
