Occasionally you might find an investor/owner with a vacant house that puts a Rently box on or some kind of combo, but most of the time you will need a realtor to escort you. 

This is a pretty weird question, I know, but I am curious.I get that you can do deals pretty much anywhere, and there are good deals all over the country, but I don't believe that the markets are equal in this regard.For example, if the seller has the ability to look at your credit as an investor (which throws out one of the sole purposes of doing a seller finance), versus states/markets that don't require that as much, I would like to know the states/markets where owners checking your credit history is not going to be prevalent in a deal, assuming the seller is willing to do this kind of deal with you.For context, yes, I am a new and aspiring investor, and due to certain circumstances, my credit is currently not the best, but I don't want that to stop me from investing in real estate (which is why I'm leaning to using seller financing).Please no answers saying that I should just raise my credit score and get an FHA/Conventional loan, because I am currently working on raising my credit, but I can't give a time on when my credit will be "back to normal" again, which could mean I could be stuck on not qualifying for a loan for the next couple of years (ain't nobody got time for that).Thanks for the help!

There is a STR group in Atlanta called AMSTRA stands for Atlanta Metro Short Term Rental Alliance led by @Rich Munroe, he is very active and worked very closely with the city while designing STR to present owners side of the concerns.

Maybe you can report the owner to Code Enforcement or similar department?

The vast majority of owners in my market live and manage their properties from at least 3 states away and have great success. 

Everyone within that LLC theoretically is the "owner" of the property.

Even though they talking al cash .. write it up owner carry. 

@Joseph O'Sullivan owners should ask less questions about prices & services and more questions about how services are executed!

Bring 500k to the table together and we can lock down some owner financing deals!

Is there a certain neighborhood, owner occupied vs. not owner occupied, length of ownership, debt on property vs. no debt, etc.
