I had one buddy who made beads (popular with the buckskinning crowd).

Rent-to-own and CFD (contract for deed AKA installment contract AKA land contract) are two popular seller financing methods.

Are they clean or do they look as though they just crawled out from under a rock?

I think before it expired, there was a lot of OO activity between owners and banks; at least here in little Rock.

It seems to be a popular method to get conversation going.

As taxes continue to go up, self directed IRAs will become more and more popular.

In your agreement it will need to have language of it prevailing over any other agreements made to that date (signing yours last with date and times).You can incorporate your contract by referrence and any paragraphs that may contradict will be prevailing under your contract.You should have an attorney do this for you the first time and then follow that addendum style thereafter.Actually, a Realtor is between a rock and a hard place because at the local level, like with the Board of Realtors, they may have agreed to use only the standard contract and amend it as necessary, OTH, state law will probably state, as well as broker's requirements, to present all offers.

They are rock solid on reputation.

It becomes a popularity contest with teeth then.

Some examples are Craiglist and the very popular We Buy Houses signs, flyers, mailings etc.Now if you want to connect with other wholesalers in your area - call the number on the sign or go to a local REI meeting
