"Tired" (and retiring) landlords are the perfect sellers for structuring seller finance deals, since they are already conditioned to accept payments over time and they likely don't need a large lump sum at the time of closing.Just food for thought...

Keep in mind most landlords are not selling because they do not want cashflow, they are selling because they are tired of the tenants toilets and trash!

The owners inherited the property out of state,and were tired of paying the HOA dues.

The successful people value their time and we get tons of inquiries from tire kickers so dont feel bad if they vet your seriousness.

The best short sale to buy is one that was under contract for six months and then falls apart because the buyer gets tired of waiting.

Some are not happy that our market moves so quickly and quite honestly I think some are just kicking the tires of investing and not even really ready to make a purchase.

Or perhaps you are tired of been a landlord or may be you think the future condo costs are going to rise faster and eat into your return.

I understand that it might be tiring to get the same questions about a certain topic especially when they look down upon the idea in the first place but at that point if they don’t have anything constructive to say then they should know not to even waste their time commenting in the first place.

I bought mine off-market and below market value because the Owner was tired and didn't want to own it any more.

After building rapport with a tired landlord, I will mention some benefits of SF without saying it.
