Some people do not enjoy being a residential landlord.

There's nothing wrong with offering someone an opportunity to succeed and then enjoying the profit if they fail to follow through.Think of it like a credit card with 0% interest for the first six months on all balance transfers.

I enjoy hunting for the owners of these properties and trying to get them to sell.

Enjoy the new year and reach out if you need anything. 

I know in Oklahoma you have some kind of land contract or contract for deed that allows you to buy the property with low down and get on some kind of titleNow your exit strategy can be to rent it out or to resell it for cashAnother strategy is to buy it subject to or subject to existing financing, or you leave the financing in place and get the DeedDodd Frank and Safe Act do not apply because it is an investor to investor transactionYou can also look at lease-option assignments where you enter into a lease option and then sell your contract for a fee which is brokering the contractOklahoma City I really enjoy; a great marketplace because of the rent that you can get compared to the fair market value of the houseIf you want to win at real estate I would get a real estate license and find a broker that will allow you to do creative transactions, which include Wholesaling, and Creative financing as a principal buyerI have written extensively about "how to talk to Sellers" at BiggerPockets for the last eight years or soGoogle "Brian Gibbons negotiating with sellers"Happy new year and good luck!

Maybe interest only and just enjoy the $0 down cash flow for a few years?

I currently househack a 3 family in Leominster and have very much enjoyed the journey so far.

In doing so, you may discover whether you enjoy flipping and/or have any aptitude for it.

You should also look into Airbnb a lot of weather birds go to Arizona for the weather, to golf and enjoy the sun.

@Sherrell Echols  mineral rights in my area enhance the value of properties but we don't typically appraise for them separately or figure them into the loan or lending decision.
