In Ohio, affordable single family homes under $100k are prevalent in the Toledo and Cleveland area.

In the market in which interest rates are still “affordable”, and demand is strong, it is likely that sub to or owner financing of a free and clear property would only take place if the subject property was not financable or the seller wanted a price significantly above market value.These type of transactions are significantly more prevalent in the commercial real estate world, especially when the subject property is a “special purpose” property like a marina, golf course, church, or event center.  

The prevalent gang in that area is the orejon (sp?)

now thats easy to do .. since agents ( other than selling property we own IE our new home subdivision) RARELY sell their own listings at least out here on the west coast.. might be more prevalent in low value markets or bombed out investor homes. that are rehab potential. 

If the economy changes and it negatively affects RE then maybe these types of deals become more prevalent. 

I would have to imagine if it is as prevalent as you say there would be at least one BP Podcast episode of someone talking about it. 

This is a pretty weird question, I know, but I am curious.I get that you can do deals pretty much anywhere, and there are good deals all over the country, but I don't believe that the markets are equal in this regard.For example, if the seller has the ability to look at your credit as an investor (which throws out one of the sole purposes of doing a seller finance), versus states/markets that don't require that as much, I would like to know the states/markets where owners checking your credit history is not going to be prevalent in a deal, assuming the seller is willing to do this kind of deal with you.For context, yes, I am a new and aspiring investor, and due to certain circumstances, my credit is currently not the best, but I don't want that to stop me from investing in real estate (which is why I'm leaning to using seller financing).Please no answers saying that I should just raise my credit score and get an FHA/Conventional loan, because I am currently working on raising my credit, but I can't give a time on when my credit will be "back to normal" again, which could mean I could be stuck on not qualifying for a loan for the next couple of years (ain't nobody got time for that).Thanks for the help!

Requiring an application before showing the property may deter potential tenants, particularly given the prevalence of scams in today's rental market.

This, coupled with the prevalent “higher for longer” mindset, paints a concerning picture where corporations are expected to shell out significantly more in interest on their debts than they have in recent years.

The software I'm developing addresses the exact concerns you mentioned that are prevalent in existing platforms.Think of it as a focused environment designed for efficiency and efficacy in real estate networking.
