-- that $.50 is a great bonus

If they can make money TODAY as a "hold" the massive appreciation that you predict will be a bonus.

In order to get this property rented asap, I thought of going door to door in the neighborhood and delivering fliers marketing the property and offering a $100 referral bonus for placed tenant.

The other thing...direct access to the outdoors, with possibly a semi-private sitting area, from the master is a bonus.  

@Brandi Williams  most out of state markets are pretty interchangeable.. investors buy for cash flow and appreciation if they get it is a bonus.. ( I personally like both)But compare many markets  you will have fun looking at all the different areas to invest in and one may resonate.I just spend 3 days in Dallas and I have 11 fix and flips going there..

Question to Minnesota Investors familiar with Seller financing: I'm looking to work with a couple sellers who own property free and clear and are willing to do selling financing.What type of transaction(s) did you do (CD vs D of T), how was it structured, did you hire an attorney to write or vet your contract and BONUS: are you willing to share the basic contracts/documents (what I'm really in need of).I always thought "contract for deed" was the customary seller-financing structure, but was advised by the BP community that a deed of trust combined with a note is more prudent.

Bonus points if you did this as an out of state investment.

A bonus of this strategy is that I'm in a good position to do bigger/better deals in the future if that's what the market dictates.Of course they were my choices.

If you approach it in that manner than in the event a borrower is capable and a mortgagee is willing shorter term dispositions are a bonus.
