These instruments are called "Land Contracts", "Contracts for Deed", "Note and Deed of Trust", or "Real Estate Contract."

If this happens everywhere in the nation, it will take away a lot of profits from wholesalers and investors alike.

Matt,I live not too far from you and from what i see in buffalo as well as nf its a risky investment at best.these homes for 5000 and under are money pits that will cost you from 15000 to 40000 to fix depending how much work you do yourself.you can get lucky at the auctions sometimes but i like too stick to the surrounding areas,ex amherst tonawanda,cheektowaga..better areas where people want to live.also dont trust zillow their not even close most of the time.good luck
