I'm sure these properties will cashflow, but will provide some serious headache to the owner, even if the property is not self managed.

So I think owner financing is an appealing option to them.I also have an interest in flipping.  

The financing you can get with owner occupancy is awesome... and if you're moving out of a house you own, then you have another rental there.With minimal experience and/or minimal funds, it's hard to get the highest returns possible.  

These have all been owner-occupied properties that mostly belong to our group.

Hi everyone,I live in Hong Kong and just starting investing in Real Estate here.I have a very good lead, let me present it to you all.In a commercial building, the man own a office room high floor, he bought that office for investment for a year ago, he did not touch anything in the property and put it on the market for sale with a large markup.After a 9 months on the market he decided to lower the price, still after 4 month with the lower price no buyers.I then come in and ask the seller if he will consider owner finance on his property as he only have a small loan that is nearly paid.The owner said yes to owner financing and waiting for my offer.I have visited the property and understand why the landlord have not been able to rent or sale, the place was previously owned by a church, the all atmosphere and decoration is very much like a church... so really difficult to rent it as it is for office space or similar. 

I've been talking to the owner of property B for a few months (it's a non-MLS deal) and he says he wants to see a track record of landlord success (over a few years) before he'd be willing to owner finance the deal for me. 

We currently occupy about 65% of the space but just signed a lease to another doctor so our portion (owner occupied) is down to about 40%.  

It has great potential but is currently a distressed property, owners divorced and walked out. 

The current owners are an older couple who are in and out of the hospital and have terrible bookkeeping so it's been a tough getting good documentation.
