@Peter Fokas     Sounds like an electric stove top with two burners out?

Not many American municipalities are looking realistically at this yet, but over the next decade I'll bet the it will become more of a front burner issue

In order for this owner to be in a position to do owner financing on a $1,000,000.00 property it means he is a fat cat with allot of experience who will take 10 to 20 new investors just like you and eat you for breakfast. 

We thought these were old rat dropping dating back since the 70s, until we discovered two fat rats that were still alive and well.

It helped avoid wandering contractor syndrome and having them put you on a back burner.

Also if you put a big pot on the front burner see what it bangs up against and figure that into your plan.

If you have 10 million to invest you can live pretty fat on just talking a partial amount of 700 to 800k each year so it's all relative.

I routinely get the tenant call for a bad garbage disposal, plugged sink or toilet, stove burner that doesn’t work, window crank that’s stripped, even a light that’s not working (and it’s the light bulbs), change the locks, leak under the sink, etc., etc.

if you are a cash buyer, they have a nice fat 10% down payment, they are sitting on !!  

So, until I see the benefits of the cost and effort to train others, it gets put on the back burner due to insufficiently motivating me.Meanwhile, theres a market that I can continue to influence as much or as little as I wish.
