I always vote towards leveraging, but it's really an issue of your personal comfort level as to which is better for you.

It all comes down to vetting that C Buyer and having a comfort level that they can close.

Populations also level out and even decline naturally.

I like to transact with someone formal (with plans if possible), knows what they want (Specifications or SKU list a plus), who won't tell us what to do (we know what we are doing), who can afford to pay the level of our service we provide (insurance of all types are expensive, and we also have a family to feed).

@Daniel Galvan I wouldn't say you are wrong...as every investor has a different level of risk tolerance.  

@Shalabh Jain I have been in a similar situation for a cash out refi where the owner occupancy levels did not meet Fannie/Freddie requirements.

I've done some where the seller holds 100% of the purchase price, but that has been the 3 or 4th sale with the same seller over several years so by then we have a good comfort level and working relationship. 

I spoke with B2R about a deal we were trying to put together, unfortunately, we couldn't come to terms on their rates and lending level's that we needed.  

We can help you with purchase, any level of rehab, property management and sales.

Yes... go ahead and argue it is a reassignment, but at the base level you acted as a middleman for the transaction.
