Put yourself in the shoes of an investor: is the property in a good market?

Instead of discussing the possibility of owner finance with sellers - what if I offered the opportunity to  JV where they are the equity partner?   

If you ever want to chat or need advice, feel free to reach out.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

I suspect that is because of Hail damage ???

As the expiration of the offer approached, I reached back out.

This is the value of having someone who has local experience.The company you said, if they are some "remote" company, I guess they could provide the things that you need and save money, but I would hesitate to feel confident if they do not have regional experience and that you would be left vulnerable if issues arise with the design later on. 

I would prefer to start out here in Fayetteville, NC but I'm not opposed to other markets at all.
