I work for Carrot but will try to remove bias. 

The Indianapolis market a very great one in my opinion (yes I might be a little Bias) but it has so much opportunity.

Say what you want about that but I'd be looking out for myself and if the person doing the reference checks isn't smart enough to go back further... that's on them. in markets for rental areas that have high proportion of tenants  like the mid west were something like 50 to 60% of all folks rent.. your telling the truth flat guarantee most landlords with a bummer tenant is going to say anything they can to get them to move on.in nicer areas of A class 700 fico tenants this is not really as big of an issue Yeah, my experience may be biased to my primary market. 

We now have fights over which of the 44,279 genders a person is, kids getting even more bat-sh_t crazy, our society is in melt-down.

I didn’t do the BRRRR method and many of my mentors didn’t so I am bias towards not using it.  

Bottom line - All hype, bs, misinterpretation, opinion bias, etc aside, sellers willing “owner finance” the sale of their property for one reason - and one reason only: They PERCEIVE that they are getting a higher price for their property by owner financing than by a cash (cash to them) sale.The “perceive” part is why buyers can sometimes structure terms ridiculously one sided in their favor - because some sellers are so focused on PRICE they become oblivious to anything else.It’s why I and numerous others have been able to structure 20 year owner financing loans at ZERO interest; why sellers have accepted “substitution of collateral” that gave them a lien on recreational land I had rather than their own income producing property; why sellers accept second position liens and allow buyers to obtain new first mortgages ahead of theirs (subordination), and why sellers always accept mortgages without my personal guarantee.I myself sell properties and provide owner financing to obtain a higher price.

I am biased towards Ames, IA, and Chicago, IL, for college investment properties (although I wouldn't consider Chicago a "college town," lol). 

For this reason some people prefer to hire a company that just cleans and scopes and doesn't do repairs (the ones who also do repairs may be biased and recommend expensive repairs 100% of the time). 

I'm very bias, but I grew up in the Bay Area and moved to Reno, NV to live and invest. 

I'm an agent here, so I'm obviously bias.
