One of you MFH people can probably take this out for a spin.

When structuring a seller finance deal and terms are set for the following example:Seller wants to make $110k for the homeYou can pay $100k but decide if the seller finances with X terms they can make $110k (or more depending on how you want to spin it).The loan has a 30 year length with a 5 year balloon.You flip this property and then exit within 6 months. 

That is because any good agent is an optimist and will spin things for the positive.

It's very unlikely that you will be able to spin it as "us vs the previous landlord/market".

That would get your LO converted into a Land Contract so fast it would make your head spin...and your profit disappear.2 - There are 2 completely separate contracts involved here (3 when/if the option is executed...meaning the property is bought). 

I don't know if that's a different "spin or twist" that certain companies are doing with crazy fees or what.

When viewed like that, the “solution to a problem” spin gets a reality check I think, and its now seen as punitive for a small portion of the overall CA economy.

I could see this turning ugly if certain political spins and viewpoint enter the discussion.....I don't like the idea of foreign countries having huge financial control over large sectors of the RE market (or any US market for that matter) .

That would spin off another 100 questions but that is where I would start

Hi BP,I'm an investor-friendly agent in the St. Pete/Tampa market. This week I listed a reno house in the heart of St. Pete right smack between the beaches and downtown. It's in the path of progress in the city's mast...
