I would truly appreciate another option if you have one or a local agent referral as you mentioned.Please have someone reach out to me via email or phoneQuote from @Aaron Letzeiser: Quote from @Dean Valadez: I reached out to Obie for a quote and this is the response I received via email:"We’ve heard back from all our markets and unfortunately, we do not have a market available for your property at this time. 

Seller will be taking a 30k+ loss with this route.325k with 50K down to seller, 3 years of payments $1600/month, and a balloon payment of 215k at the end of 3 years.Benefits to me: (1) 10k less downpayment, (2) with the conventional route, the loan would be at 228k after 3 years of payments, so I will gain additional equity with the 2nd option since I will owe 215k (presumably I will have to refinance at that time).Benefit to seller: she gets over asking price, 50K upfront and $300/month of cash flow.Does this offer and structure sound reasonable?

No syndication experience but there are about a dozen quality RV/Mobile home parks on market in Oregon, several with owner carry options that can be passiv-ish with management in place.

And countless other options.

@Karen WanamartaThe zoning is R2, which includes a wide variety of options that includes multifamily, which is defined in the general plan below in this excerpt. 

I had two real options, University of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State University.

@Seidy Lasker Wash sale rules apply to stock options if they are deemed "substantially identical" to a security sold at a loss within 30 days, such as options with similar expiration dates or strike prices.

However, if you learn the different options available and then figure out what they really want, you can often negotiate a killer deal.

The increasing barrier to entry results in fewer new STR's coming available for sale, but also fewer options for guests to rent. 

The land banker, the long term landlord, the neighbor that wants to expand their home, or the horse owning owner occupant with no other options?
