I figured out how to do it, without having to be there.I mail my "tired landlords" a simple letter saying I want to buy their house.

Its been 2 weeks since we sent them a letter, as per their guidelines for a disturbance situation.

Needless to say, we got a letter stating they wrote our account off as a charge off.

If you have a written lease and document things like the phone call from your son, the letter to the parents, etc. then you should have enough of a case to get it into small claims court.

Those signs are all over here in Las Vegas as well.They are usually cheap cardboard and hand lettered.

Just propose that they carry like 25% of the purchase for five years, interest only with a balloon payment at the end.

They are a bit more focused on the communications and marketing side so have tight integration with Craigslist plus the ability to send letters direct.

Because then you can deal with real contracts, and not letters of intent.But one day if you want to speculate on properties here's a template you can use.

Maybe I just like the letter H?

Here's an example:Purchase price: $200kFirst: $150kSecond: $50k (held by seller at interest only at 10% for five years with a balloon payment at the end)Balance owing by you: $0
