I accepted my first ever owner financing buyer and closed 2 weeks ago.

"Inflation expectations" is a purely rational and logical way to look at it, but let's consider that bond market buyers/sellers aren't 100% comprised of Vulcans, and that there are highly emotional and irrational individuals among them, as well. 

If the property is not cash flowing and is due to your mortgage carry, it will most likely require a cash buyer to work (or close to it). 

However, I disagree with your comments that the investor buyers who buy these homes have a greater appetite for risk and know the risks that exist.

Now with the NAR settlement, all buyer commissions are negotiable in the contract. 

Another of the houses I just bought is appraised at $250,000, they reduced the price to $225,000, and I put in an offer but they accepted a higher offer from another buyer for $197,000. 

Don’t be one of them.There were different ways that potential buyers wasted my time.

They will surely be happy to add you to their buyers list! 

These areas are super attractive for investors.It's not hard to see why. 

It’s a straightforward process that offers benefits to both buyers and sellers.
