Dodd Frank throws a wrench into parks selling homes to owner occupants on traditional notes.  

A economical crash traditional happens every 5-6 years but has been taking longer over the past couple of decades. 

Hi @Josh CaldwellI canvas financial plannersI ask them if their clients would like to sell their low equity homes on lease purchase instead of paying the traditional sales costs of selling with an agent, which saves their client sometimes as much as 9 to 12 per cent.If the sellers have no equity, they do not need to break savings plans like IRAs to use to pay the costs to sell.  

Initial cash flow can be thin but you will find lots of the traditional Boston "Triple Deckers" to consider.  

You can have 90% MLS access through the likes of Zillow, Redfin, etc without being licensed....that get's you pretty much Nationwide.MLS's have traditionally been very disparate geographically, competitively, economically and in any other adjective you can think of, they are, SLOWLY, coalescing in may areas.  

Can I negotiate great terms and wholesale/assign the contract to a buy and hold investor like i would a traditional wholesale deal?

So for I've just ran numbers as if it were a traditional wholesale deal.Thanks and hope to hear some helpful tips soon!

My dad actually did that in the Midwest and doubled his money on the exit 3x (sort of like what poster Christian did).I'm still a property virgin and am thinking of buying some 1-2 bedroom apartments in the downtown or outerlying commuting areas of major cities in the US & Europe.

@Christian Carson may be able to shed some light on this.....

Your income and cash on hand will be your most limiting factors with traditional or portfolio loans.
