Land contracts often allow for a higher price, typically 5% - 10% above market value, due to the flexibility they offer buyers.What's the average interest rates charged on these relative to regular mortgage rates?

As for cash flow, from sales; probably in year two and three which should match the timing for the housing  market to reset past bottom of market and on to the stable appreciation side again.

Tap into those markets.......generally your biggest wholesalers can potentially be your biggest buyers.also go to Your rent section on zillow in your area. research a couple of the owners of the rentals and reach out.
