You can display how serious you are to them, and if they know you, you have a better chance at a discount or lower "rate" on the seller financed note.

@Jennifer Griffin- Excellent and you have truly displayed and stuck with the edict of managing from your head and not your heart.Obviously, you loved the place, but, it didn't make sense financially with their counter offer.Congratulations!

where can you find a reliable source that displays current listing of homes for sale?

Helena is a very small town on the Arkansas border across the river from casinos in Mississippi. 

Farther west is rougher, and borders KCMO schools.

There doesn't seem to be a way to separate 'land' from 'homes'.I tried the basic input of the simplest terms but the pages that display are just filled with Ads that are not what I'm looking for.

You might visit their current residence to see if your prospective tenant is currently displaying it.      

Hoping that displays by basic comprehension skills, I move onto my maniacal aspirations.Moving abroad to take a teaching position.

It is depending on where you move but you will be anywhere between 5 and 45 minutes from United states (Niagara Falls and Buffalo) where you could also set up your business and operate if you're comfortable going back and forth over the border on a regular basis.
