@Brian KemplerI have to agree with @Kevin Sobilo here.To your OP, as long as the buyer fully comprehends the deal, from all angels, and have no illusions of full benefits of home ownership, then there is no reason you cannot proceed.

Fort instance, Zillow and its affiliates control over 70% of the market; which more than fit the definition of a monopoly.

There's one in Florida and another in Georgia, I don't know if they're affiliated.

I'm not affiliated or compensated in any way by Peter Harris and/or his company for my contribution to this thread.

I am confident there are many parts to this I do not yet comprehend.  

There are LOTS of legal restrictions in California that you will need to be aware of if you are buying properties from owner occupants who are in foreclosure.Here is some reading to get you started (I have no affiliation with the company in the link): https://support.propertyradar.com/hc/en-us/article...Scott Williams

Upsells include concierge services, butlers, parking, local tour guides and activities (affiliate partnerships), renting different parts of your property at the same time to different clients, romance packages, spa packages, up charging for high end amenities, massage/wellness packages and affiliate partnerships. 

Happy to run them through our model to see if one of our affiliates can finance them.

No affiliation here, I just admire the guy.

I personally find this approach deceptive since the borrower doesn’t know who their lender really is, but it’s legal.You can become an affiliate to some of the larger lenders.
