Most homes for sale on the MLS are not looking to go with seller financing, in my experience usually you get those types of offers from the seller looking for buyers that want seller financing which is few and far between.I think your best bet here could be to offer sub2 but even that is a far stretch.

Even up 1464 or Hwy 6 - it's cheap, but I wouldn't make a bet on those areas and school districts.

Those tenants haven't been any more problematic than tenants from any other platform. 

As someone else mentioned I think that Househacking a multi family is your best bet and the recommendation I give to everyone looking to get started or even someone looking to buy their first home.House hack is the easiest barrier to entry becasue your cost for downpayment can be as little as 3.5% FHA or 5% conventional, and you usually get the best rates as a primary residence borrower. 

BiggerPockets is the best platform out there to build a team, stay informed, and like you said, soak up all info like a sponge.

Your best bet is to talk with the zoning department and let them know the situation.  

I've heard good things about Oklahoma, but it is very far from CA and I personally wouldn't bet on very speculative developments across the country.

Check out prospecting platforms like RedX, where you can call pre-foreclosures which is a good way to find off market deals.Other social media sites/groups, or simply network with local wholesalers online.Best of luck!

I think your best bet is to go with a Correspondent Lender like we are because we can get you multiple offers to ensure you get the best rates and terms available for your scenario.The best lender is going to depend on the qualifications of the borrower, the property and tenant type as well as some of the specifics of the lending scenario.For the Borrower:1.

A lot of people want out of the city.Sure, rising population metro areas are a safe bet when it come to investing.
