A balanced market typically has around 6 months of inventory, so anything lower suggests a seller’s market with limited inventory.🎆 Las Vegas Rings in 2025 with a Bang!"

Much more difficult to convince sellers to owner finance5.

most realtors deal with primary / retail buyers and sellers and they too aren't going to just walk properties for you. 

The seller could just have an unmotivated broker that doesn’t market the property well, among other reasons. 

When you researched markets like Austin las Vegas Miami, those markets have higher land cost and are more cyclical in nature tend to have larger price swings compared to regions with lower land costs.

Sellers rarely mind the low deposit and extended closing period due to the nature of the property, or at least they can be made aware of the fact that their lot has issues that will take MY time and MY money to solve and then they come around.My terms on the flip are: Minimum 10K spread between purchase and flip value.  1-2K deposit upfront to hold the property for 7 days then the deposit becomes non-refundable after the 7th day and the buyer has the same amount of time that I originally negotiated with seller typically 8-12 months(its a purchase contract but because of contingencies its essentially an option).  

I became the bank- selling 90% of my free and clear multis with seller-financing. 

But the real key is to find motivated sellers.

If you don't want to swing from one headache to the next, I would recommend that whatever rentals you purchase, come with existing management in place that has already proven to accomplish excellent numbers.

Quote from @Alan Mills: Got an inspection objection back with something I’ve not seen on my other rehab’s (this is a Colorado property):“The seller agrees to have a licensed plumber install external sewer cleanouts per city code and scope the sewer line ensuring its integrity.”This was a full interior/gut rehab and almost everything is brand new.
