I won't be so "willing" and "nice" in taking contingent offers from buyers unless I have a sizable non-refundable bit of earnest money.

And has anyone else had experience in taking over owner financed portfolios?

@Cory LucasOutstanding in taking bold action on your part!

Is there any preference in taking either a conventional loan on my personal credit or doing re-financing on my property?

If it's not in the condition you would want to see your property kept, don't rent to them.Second, in taking up front money, you set a precedent with them.

You have to be careful to as you might have to add a fresh air intake.

You can, if you wish, contact your local Code Enforcement office to get their intake on this.

I've been seeing different opinions about the good, the bad and the ugly which makes me nervous but something tells me to just jump in take a risk but limit them so it won't bankrupt me :)Now I want to ask anyone from the community on your experiences on certain TK company and who to definitely avoid?  

If any come your way let me know, i'd definitely be interested in taking a look.
