It's far harder to qualify for conventional loans if you're a business owner or self-employed and that equals opportunity.When I look at doing a potential owner finance deal the most important thing for me is skin in the game. 

question.It's called the 1% rule.In essence monthly rents should be equal to 1% of the total purchase price of the property.So...If you buy a property for $250K then the monthly rent should be $2.5K quick and simple right?

First of all, I'd think they would just take the property back so long as the value was equal to or greater than the loan amount.. 

My other thought is that it may just make sense to buy the property so that my monthly burden is equal to or less than it would be if I rented in the area, because at least I am paying towards my own equity.  

Here's the advise that I can tell you:Not all Section 8 tenants are created equal. 

We expect you to be equally committed and, to that end, ask that you bring some money to the closing table.

Also, a $10-20 /month payment would take years to equal a security deposit, much less make profit for Rhino.

So while the proper expertise is vital in a successful ADU project... yes, please do question the tiny house start-up companies, or anyone touting themselves as "ADU experts" without the evidence to back that up.

I'm also charging less than Rentometer suggests I should.There are a few equally nice units a few blocks away that charge comparable rent.
