I am looking for help to come up with few strategies to entice my family to sell to me vs. them throwing up on MLS. 

It's one thing to have a worldview that supports affordable housing and claim to support policies that promote this.

I am very enticed to buy a duplex to live in, rehab, and rent out the other side.

Lucas I cannot self promote here, but I can help you find someone if we can connect another way.

I am looking to build a website to promote  a few short term rentals - would also like option for people to see availability of properties. 

Some do seem enticing, some not so much.

Hello tryFurnishedfinders.com. they promote 30+ day short term rentals to traveling heath care workers.

Im not sure about health or any burdens he has at the moment but to make the deal more suitable for him i put the 5 year balloon so he is not waiting until he is 77 to get his 500k.He isn't selling on owner finance it was just something he was interested in listening to because i brought it up, so again i'm trying to structure the deal to best suit him and entice him to do it rather than accept a low ball cash offer which i don't have right now. 

Taken HELOC at promotional rate of 3.75% for the first year.

@Katie Miller, there would be lots of interest in this area of investing, its very popular but just not promoted much on this platform, I think you guys have even had 2 podcasts guest on just mobile home investing, like every other niche of investing mobile homes will create financial independence for anyone that does it long enough thanks for considering it
