If you're looking for a more exotic path there is a type of Delaware Statutory Trust called a zero coupon" or zero cash flow product. 

You can get private $ but it needs to be at a lower coupon than the note.

If the seller is mailing in payments and has and old style coupon book...

Now that we are two weeks out the lender is saying that even though we are still in the rate lock timeline that the coupons for many of the rate buydown options from when we locked are gone and they can't honor those rates anymore and will only let us buy down to 5.25%. 

first, i would never get a real estate agent to find tenants for me.you would do a better job doing it yourself. as a property manager and licensed realtor, i'll tell you that agents view leases equivalent to "save $1" coupons for groceries.... almost barely worth their timeKnowing that, they will do whatever they can to fill it with the first joe schmoe, who can get them paid and never have to worry about it again....As a property manager, I'll tell you, they are much more incentivized to screen better for you because they are accountable and need to service after screening.....Even then, most property managers do little more than put a sign in your yard, so make sure they are reputable or you trust - like everything else......Lastly, @Robert Wilson is right, agent needs a waiver to share with you still....

Any movement in food cost, labor expenses, couponing, or rent increases can adversely affect the profit.I like structures where profit can be HIGH even if VOLUME is low.

It reminded me of going from a seller financed presentation to paying more than a seller was asking by paying them with zero coupon bonds, trading the future value of bonds for the present value of a property, pretty much a scam deal, but other than that, not something that happens in reality, most sellers just aren't that stupid.Pretty much fast talking, justifying the manipulation of a price and terms to arrive at 100% with no payments (ideally) to a future balloon.

I read up a little on buying coupons/gift cards on eBay/in store credit cards/contractor deals - but I figured BP would know best.

The other times I belong to all the clubs and get coupons off or if meeting someone for business they pay my meal usually.

As far as I can tell, it is not possible to offer rent credits on a Rent - To - Own house and still cover my assets should the buyer act a fool.creative mind that i am, i am wondering about doing a lease-option so that:if i rent it to them with the understanding that for every "ON TIME" rent payment, i will mail them a receipt and COUPON for $XXX.xx off the purchase price when (if ever) they decide to buy.what do you guys think?
