Hello BPIts been a while since I have posted on this site, But I always end up back on this site for advice.I'm currently preparing to purchase a primary residence.

@Jerad Gardner I turned my primary residence into a rental property when I moved across the country.

While I say new to real estate, my wife and I have sort of fallen in love with real estate after successfully transforming our primary residence into our first rental property two years ago.  

It was not the cheapest solution, but am hoping it will prove a good value. 

I caught the latest Planet Money episode, which followed the local residents and city finding all of the absentee owners of a block on N.

Please help me explore the pros and cons so I can try to find creative solutions to make seller financing a win-win-win solution for the seller, the buyer, and the realtor.I understand that the actual number of people that could sell in this manner may be limited.

I'm primarily trying to learn as much as I can about real estate investing while flipping my primary residence, which is also my first home purchase.

If so, that is an easy solution. 

Everyone has covered the owner occ/versus primary residence piece and the county by county millage difference.However the other side of the coin must also be considered in order to evaluate.

There is a solution tailor made for you coming this fall.
