consider the opportunity cost of doing this#1) sell house for cash or to a buyer with their own financing from a bank, etc and you get 315K at time zero, you invest that at historic SP500 8.4% return over last 220 yrs and it grows to $3,541,514.46#2) do owner financing and you get 100k up front that invested at 8.4% grows to $1,250,000, plus you get your payments at $1400 x 360 months or $502k, invested grows to $3,265,000 total including the 1.25 mil aboveso you come out 300k better not doing it and you don't have to service the loan and all the other risksremember banks don't even carry mortgage notes after origination, they dump them onto the US taxpayer via illegal-unconstitutional havens like Fannie/Freddie/HUD, and for last 15 yrs the FED has bought every MBS in the country, which frees up the Banks capital to do it again and make the real money on churning the points and feesplus will next 30 yrs have higher inflation than last 30 yrs?

I've heard Stessa and Buildium for the most part but find it's actually very difficult to use for the average small scale landlord (I have 7 doors)The cost of Buildium I think is way too high for the small scale self managed landlord like myself. 7 units comes to $55/monthAs for Stella, the UI isnt the greatest and probably tailored for more property management companies, and the accounting features are rather lacking for Canadian tax laws.
