What I have found is that if you set yourself up to withstand market movements then you will  always be able to progress.

The closing costs are also far less since most of the closing costs come from the bank financing, of which there is none.The biggest difference between traditional financing and seller financing is the description of what's happening...as it pertains to the money/cash movement:1 - Traditional financing - The buyer of the property is "buying" (not borrowing) money from the bank.

The insurance company is essentially spending the dividend on hedging activities to buy as much movement in the market index as they can get with the money they have to spend.

@Joel Owens I relly buy into the foreign investment movement albeit it's not a new phenomenon.

While shorter term buyouts do exist, the typical buyout is 50-99 years with perpetual terms also being frequent.When analyzing a property with an existing lease that has been sold, it is important to not only ignore the income, but you need to also take into account the residual obligations left to the property owner, as well as any contractual nuances that may have been agreed to by the former property owner.

Check with a local housing authority at the college to see if enrollment is increasing, are they building any on campus housing for students, is there a movement to bring more students back on campus, does the person know of that apartment building and what's there opinion of it, how about that area - is it a desirable area for students to live?

We do have occasional earthquakes but that is also very location specific.But the major faults in CA are approx 300 years overdue for movement...I toured a fault area with a Geologist a few years ago and it was frightening to say the least.

I think the flight shifting/movement makes the planks pop out.

I know there is movement from the northeast to the south, so I was interested in researching some markets down there.

I like that structure a lot @Cassidy Burns@Russell Brazil are you getting any movement with condos in the DC area?
