If the buyer has no experience, then the seller is at much higher risk of the buyer failing to perform.

I have the opportunity to buy a non-performing note at a discount.

Consequently, if the seller would like to receive a reasonable asking price (along with the with limited fees associated with lease options, etc), they may have to sacrifice owning a primary residence until the option to buy their property is exercised.  

Non performing paper SMH...yes they are stupid but I guess smart if you have a buyer of bad mortgage paper.

Had anyone else gone through this process, i assume I need a payment bond versus a bid or performance bond?

The rest of the exercise is to offer what you can pay based upon the margin/profit you'll work for. 

always remember the important thing is what your audience (investor) wants.How safe is the investment and why, how much money can he expect to make and why,,not BS numbers, but solid numbers that you can show of specific houses that are for sale now (or recently), what the rental income would be, and the entire breakdown showing your calculating projected maintenance, vacancy etc.You HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT,,what will interest the investor is your knowledge, showing you have done your homework,,you have to do a lot more reseach before your ready to pitch anyone (unless they are a relative, but even then I recommend a lot more research,,,talk to investors in your area,,,,get to know your market,,after you have done all that a 'business plan' is just an outline of how you plan to move forward, what is important is the thought/expertise you have put into itI once knew an MBA from UCLA that couldn't accomplish anything,,he could write fancy reports, business plans,,but when it came to actually performing,,he fell short,.

On the other hand, if your buyers are serious about buying a home and want to have that "pride of ownership", you may have a winner.If your sellers are depending on the tenant exercising their option, you may want to educate them.

I've been going with a nominal 10% based on the performance from some of my other properties, which admittedly could have been pure luck.
