On Sub to the risk falls almost exclusively on the Seller..

@Juan De La Garza, there are two factors here: a) what are you expecting out of the sellers financials that will effect value?  

Quick question...I am Ohio and connecting with private lenders to assist me in funding my next deal.If the purchase and transaction is with a real estate agent and you have a private lender for your loan, is that considered a "cash" purchase in terms of the real estate contract and telling the seller, or is that still considered financing?  

What's the seller temperature in your market?

If a good deal comes up that I can only get 10 or 15 years, then interest only helps or if it's negative cash flow, get another with positive cash flow to balance things.Seeing how 85% of my properties are seller financed or "subject to", sometimes I get terms that I can't change and sometimes I can dictate what I'll pay.

I am buying an investment property and literally found out the night before signing the closing docs that the seller wants to back out of the deal.

Alternatively, submit the offer with the SELLER removing the tenants, not you.

We have almost always just dealt with the listing agent (LA) on deals we have done (40+) or deal directly with the seller.

Instead of dealing directly with sellers, it would be with wholesalers.

Some trends I have been looking into are modular built homes, uses for small offices in the suburbs, and MTRs in high demand areas.Interested to hear what people have seen!
