It may be a good option for someone that has a house already and is considering renting it out vs selling. 

And then we negotiate with the owners on the "owner financing" options that they would give to us (if they are even open to it).If someone needs "private financing" or "alternative" financing...we can still make our normal realtor commission here and then they can show for any property.I hope some of what I am saying makes sense. 

To the point that using the Alaska companion fare has been the most expensive option.

What I'd ideally like to offer are the following...Up to 75% LTVUp to 100% LTC12.49% Rate2 Points6 month terms with options to renew. 

These properties can often be acquired through creative financing methods like:Seller Financing: Negotiate flexible terms with motivated sellers who want to avoid traditional bank processes.Lease Options/Subject-To Financing: Take over a seller’s mortgage without assuming full responsibility, especially for properties needing renovation.Creative Terms: Adjust terms to fit market conditions, like offering lower down payments or longer payoff periods.Staying connected with investors and tailoring deals to current conditions can help you secure opportunities even in challenging markets.

If you're after rental income and long-term growth, Branson is a great option.

I’d recommend consulting with a lawyer who specializes in contract law to understand your options and how to protect yourself moving forward.

How about a lease w/option to purchase structure or a straight owner financed sell to you?  

@Mary LopezYou could use a DSCR commercial lender which will allow you to close in an LLC with 30yr fixed options and better rates than normal local commercial lenders.

In Cumberland county NC, the Sheriff office is an option and certified mail.
