I have seen guys like you build relationships with owners by stopping and talking to them when they visit their properties.Knowing the neighborhood is one thing, analyzing that neighborhood and "really knowing" what is going on is what I was going to show you.

The fact that it is a cash deal doesn't matter one bit.Your relationship with the title company does.

Develop a relationship with a licensed realtor in your area.

Excellent post!

Unless it is an excellent neighborhood I would say no.

Cultivate relationships with investors who appreciate and respect what you bring to the table.

This is where great relationships can help you tremendously.Btw, my sign company is the same way.

Sure you have paid down the note some but the higher interest rate on refi could make your debt service payments higher than before.It's easy to get into an property but sometimes much harder to get out of one.You have to think and plan for worse case scenario when structuring these deals.Many of these owner finance deals are going under the radar.I have already had some bankers tell me in the future they will call these as interest rates rise because of the DOS clause.So in my opinion it is an excellent time to load up on owner finance as long as the down payment and terms are right.

Thanks Jamie, The good thing that came out of this whole experience is it brought me closer to my relationship with the Lord which was not the case when i lived in Chicago as everything was comfortable and working out so well for me.Sometimes you just need to get rocked and humbled.

We're presently averaging close to 0.90, which is very good and we ever get moments as high as 0.95 / 0.96 which are excellent.
