I saw it as an opportunity to get the ball rolling, with potential little output.

Since my houses mainly go for $100k-$120K I'm very interested in the starter home buyers and knowing that it is very difficult for buyers to find new houses in the same ball park as my rehabbed houses is a good thing.  

@Tony Durannobody here has a crystal ball, so I don't think anyone could honestly tell you they know the answer to that question.

no crystal balls here.

Maybe suggest that he seek out expired listings for his low ball offers and offer him a flat fee for providing the expired listings (if he's going to approach the sellers on his own) and maybe helping write a contract if he gets any bites?

Anything relevant info to get the ball rolling would be great.  

In other words does the 3k come off the purchase price when/if the tenant/buyer exercises his option in a year or two netting the seller his 100K or does it come off now which still nets the seller his 100K? 

Deals are out there, you just have to recognize them when the come on the market, or, alternatively, look to see which properties have languished on the market and make those sellers a low ball offer.  

I could use more "How To" to get the ball rolling.Let me know how you are doing as well!

Probably not ready to play ball with HML's at this time anyway...Still too green.
