I am not able to do traditional financing at this time which is why the seller financing has attractive.

I decided at the time that I wouldn't pursue it as I convinced myself it was risky in case the neighborhood turns for the worse.Well, the property I purchased ended up renting very quickly and for $200 above the projected rent and the property next door just dropped in price, so it's looking attractive again.I'm hoping BP can convince me one way or the other. 

Most likely I would be fronting the cash to bring in the new homes myself due to the park not being a real attractive one to bring your own home into. 

(We listen to BP podcasts in the car so I know BP attracts great people.)

This may not work as well for you as variable rate real estate notes in the U.S.A. are not as attractive as those here (unless there is something other than an ARM which I have yet to encounter).

The location is one key variable that attracts the tenant. 

What makes the college area so attractive? 

Well, the major difference is that in a pyramid scheme there is no product, or the product is really just a front for attracting membership, which is the real pay off.

Most of the homes selling for bargain prices now are in the Adamsville/Bolton Rd areas or way down in 30315 near Dekalb county...the two most outermost corners of the city and of course, those homes are in terrible shape quality wise.Not much of a super statistical analysis, but using the eye test, inventory is way down and the homes available are not really attractive (with or without renovations).

That's a big reason why bigger down payments are more attractive to sellers.
