IMO, the best strategy for that type of individual is to purchase residential property in an area they are or can become familiar with; in an area where the neighborhood is “on the rise”, typically where demand exceeds supply and people are spending $$$ on fixing up properties.  

Meanwhile, the sellers who are most likely to offer creative financing are normally the owners of  real estate that have issues.....condition.....low barrier/over supply market......or perhaps pricing issue, and one of these factors is why its not marketable in a arms length transaction and why creative financing would be accepted.

I think in the future you'll see businesses supplying this type of accommodation for their workers. 

But opening up vetted Coach programs would supply a lot more bandwidth to the REI community.

I was thinking he supplies the down payment and acts as a silent partner.

Infrastructure (eg water, sewer, electrical supply to the house) should be the landowners' responsibility. 

This imbalance intensifies buyer competition, driving up home prices as demand outstrips supply.2.

The reason we supply a couple packs is to avoid the cheap knockoffs. 

Then you'll have to supply a lot of expensive wood for that fireplace and the outside fire pit.
