but all the other sales went through as this was the only one that someone who lost the sale litigated and in CA were its almost all bare land it would be very rare unless its a very high dollar property.. back story on this one it was a property that was the center of a 400 acre new age church .. they had bought the property sub too back tax's and did not think they had to pay them as church's are exempt from property tax.. 

I would go introduce myself to the pastor at several Hispanic Evangelical Churches.

BiggerPockets would be more ecumenical (inclusive of diverse viewpoints or "seeker-friendly")  Dave Ramsey is more "fundamentalist" (adhering to a narrow interpretation of the text and strongly opposed to any deviant views)   BiggerPockets and Dave Ramsey, just like different churches, attract different types of people.   

I was thinking to Brandon Turner's property he found in church.

We meet only Tuesday through Thursday so want to partner with a church that needs help. 

But most groups start with friends, family, church groups, anywhere you already have a circle of people that know, like and trust you.  

In the market in which interest rates are still “affordable”, and demand is strong, it is likely that sub to or owner financing of a free and clear property would only take place if the subject property was not financable or the seller wanted a price significantly above market value.These type of transactions are significantly more prevalent in the commercial real estate world, especially when the subject property is a “special purpose” property like a marina, golf course, church, or event center.  

For example it is waterfront, is a flat cleared lot next to a tourist attraction with insufficient parking, it is positioned next to a church or other type of building that may need overflow parking, in between to meticulously maintained houses, or in an amazing school district.

I am curious to hear if you have converted a church property into a short term or long term rental?

I have a small background in construction -- I used to do small jobs like tear up carpet or help cut or demolish sheet rock for my local church -- so I'd like to try serving as my own general contractor.
