Airbnb people have been discount seekers. try not to go by what you have heard,  but try it on one of your properties  and give it a few months  at a higher rate. 

But even then, seller financing is rarely substantially better than another investment they could make (including trust deed lending, which will often be at a higher rate than seller financing)In my experience, the owners who find owner financing advantageous are at the ends of their careers and are not interested in looking for another investment (other than the usual retirement funding sorts.)

Quote from @Kurtis Carriere: I Am currently in the finishing stages of building my own house in Ontario, Canada and looking to sell and relocate to texas (likely DFW area)i have done 90% of the work on this project by myself so im confident in my ability to do any and all repairs on the property. 

Keep it in-house.

Two identical homes located next to each other would come up with the same value, even though House #1 was just renovated to a very high standard and House #2 hadn't ever been renovated since it was built in 1949.I always tried for an identical (or nearly so) beds, baths, sq ft of living area, garage and acres. 

You may also avoid the seasoning requirement on a rate and term refinance. 

There are other suburbs that you may be able to do it in but its not going to have the booking rate you're looking for.

Houses are mostly at least 450K in the area.Thanks for any insight!

I suggest keeping track of these key features which range from cap rate to, cash flow, ROI, and asset comparison.

do you have an offer from a builder currently and by builder do you mean your house is a tear down and rebuild.. or just a rehabber who is looking to rehab the home and flip it ?
