I also try to support local businesses as much as possible.I watched the whole Anaheim STR ban go down over several months and actually watched several 3-4 hour council meetings in their entirety.

That would just be icing on the cake.

A single-member LLC is a disregarded entity, so it's cake to structure that way.

Both options sound great but let's just break down the reality.The conventional buyer is probably not going to go for an owner financed option when they qualify conventionally.That said, if you choose to go with an owner financed option with another buyer I do not see why you can't have your cake and eat it too.

I meant to mention before that the deal I spoke of is indeed off-market, it just so happens the wholesaler who is trying to assign it is also an agent and wants his cake and eat it too, by a commitment of exclusive right to sell.

It would more just be icing on the cake.

I already have seen from my experience our single family A homes are so easy to manage, while the C apartments are constant work almost daily.in our neck of the woods B class and better is a cake walk.. compared to what other PM"s have to do in the rental dominated cities back east and in the mid west 

The 5 worst markets were all in California (Anaheim, Riverside, Stockton, Long Beach, and Oakland).

Seller financing should be the icing on the cake of an already good deal.

Alas, no crab cakes to speak of here in central California...
