I agree with Marie, that if it;s optional, don't bother.

Just remember, these are properties that the banks didn't even bother to purchase cause they weren't worth it and nothing says they are houses let alone decent houses.

For 100 units, I suspect people have investigated selling and didn't like the possible outcome and didn't bother trying.Are there any other similar projects nearby?

While you might be thinking, "That's not a problem...I'm happy to pay a commission," the agent may not be willing to take this chance for their buyer and may try to convince the buyer not to bother with FSBO sales.

Today, I spoke with the host of the local REI club, who is a realtor, and he all but told me not to bother.

We put less than 1000 into the property for repairs and I didn't even bother to use new pictures when we relisted the property for sale.

It’s a great place to do some fun stuff and not be bothered, though.

He didn't bother looking at any of my documents (purchase & sale agreement, mortgage, leases with my current tenants, etc.) that would have demonstrated a legitimate need to run credit checks, which surprised me.It was a rather silly exercise - though I have a locking file cabinet (which the investigator photographed), that's not where I store my rental property info.

First of the reason why we agree to do seller finance in the first place because the buyer is not able to obtain a loan in the first place or choose not to, so why bother with the mortgage broker.

I have great connections in that town, so not a problem with emergencies as plumber, HVAC, electrician, handyman all know me well, will go out with very short notice and just bill me, and I have family in the area if I really had to bother them, like for a fire or something.
