so those owners are pretty comfortable - no mortgage payment - and they don't need to sell, and they don't care where an investor "needs" the price to be to make money. 

Quick/cheap flights from Philadelphia, where my primary residence is.5.

Here’s a bit of background on my current situation:I own one rental property that generates $1,900 per month in rental income, and it is paid off ($300K).My primary residence is also paid off ($288K).I’m currently building another rental property with cash ($200K).

And the first thing that came up when Googling the subject was Dodd and Frank, which requires RMLO if you originate more than 3 loans per year to a real estate buyer who will be residing in the property (Dodd Frank does not apply to commercial transactions, rental properties/duplexes and etc. among others).I know successful people who did this for a decade or decades.

Seller doesn't care how we split the real estate vs. the franchise, but I don't think I could get $250,000 for the real estate.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I have 880 credit score, decent savings, and no other debt except for 300K mortgage on my primary residence (worth $1.5 million).

Just a questions since this comes up frequently on these forums: why in earth do you care about cash flow if you’re buying a $600k property all cash?

@Benjamin LarabeeI'll be honest - most bookkeeping companies are not worth the money, so vet them carefully.

I currently reside in Ohio where I buy SFR rentals and do a couple flips a year.
