I suggest anyone who wants to do whats preached on BP or gurus do what I did and send it to the state for confirmation.. then you will know.. us in the peanut gallery we don't know.. and I have paid many a fine when a layer told me I was good.. but the state had a different opinion.. granted we could take it to a law review judge for a 100k.. but who is going to do that.State of Oregon - Real Estate AgencyFrances Hlawatsch | Financial InvestigatorBest regards,Thank you again for the information, if I have further questions for you during the investigation I will certainly reach out.The Agency is well aware that unlicensed “wholesalers” are rampant in our jurisdiction.

Zillow (HAR doesn't support unfortunately) keyword searches such as AirBNB, Mother-in-law, garage apartment, rental income, etc can find you neat propertiesLook into the financials of buying and subdividing land (it's lucrative - why do you think so many developers do this?)

Once you have a seller that has agreed to provide owner financing, then, as other commenters have stated, it's pretty much just a promissory note (which governs terms of the loan and creates obligation to repay) and mortgage (which secures the loan against the property).  

This was not surprising - as many other owners have ran into the same issue and there doesn't seem to be a fix.What is my obligation at this point?

this is just the real estate version of the Nigerian prince scheme we have all seen over the years... they use BP   Linkdin  facebook  to troll for those that ask for money then respond.. and believe me it works with not only newbies but real estate professionals as well.. some of the better scammers are pretty good at this.I suggest you watch this one episode on American Greed.. its was on Remmington financial.. and you can see how pervasive fake lenders are ..

I have considered designing all 9 or 10 homes and "pre-selling" based off the renderings and floor plans I design, to at least sell a couple to prove the idea before we break ground.I want to work directly with private investors, not traditional financial institutions.

I would recommend 1) positioning yourself in ready to buy position 2) contacting other commercial brokers in your area to get on a buyer list (make it known that you are financially ready to purchase) 3) research MHP owners and contact them directly 4) go to local MHP association meetings to network

I plan on replacing my current income with enough cash-flow to reach financial freedom.

if you need to supplement the costs further you can consider renting rooms out in the unit that you live in but this typically is only an option for those who need the financial assistance (housemates are often not easy).You learn Property Management, if you like being a landlord, doing repairs and hiring contractors.
