When I talk to owners, they are fully aware that I am assigning my contract. ( I only assign).Finding sellers isn't that hard, as you are offering them top dollar with no commissions.

They pay the utilities (For water I am always on top of it, i ask receipts quarterly), heat and electric also belongs to tenant. (5) My section 8 tenants are very long term tenants, so I am trying to remember how it was initially ???

Also - you can use the BP search function (top right corner) to search for city names -so you can search for Seattle and start following/colleague requesting people from this area!

Also, the search bar at the top right of the site is a great tool to help you find specific information or answers to questions.

Not necessarily over the top, but something that just feels right.

Curtis Harris if you are looking at this as your homestead, and maybe you are self employed, or there are reasons you can't get financed now...then I would approach listed owners or FSBO owners in the area (school district) you are looking for and explain that you can pay top dollar but you need 24 months to cash them out...or whatever.
