So the rules in one county may differ greatly from the next county over.In November, there were 33 properties that sold to third party buyers in the Lake County sale. 

After closing, they sought to sell the remaining payments but the buyer had very little equity on a hard to finance property.

With $80k even in this awful buyers market you could do better, that’s my opinion ;)

Well if that small loan is in a bad area that can't sell, and big loan is in a great area, and the buyer got it at a steal, then it's not the case.You won't get many lending offers on low cost deals except for one company down in Philly, who doesn't mind taking over your property...

There are ridiculous deals there which entices out of state buyers.

You can get a better deal if the property was a short sale because in this process you will get the profit as a buyer with no loss.

Not much you can do about that.In general, the type of financing a buyer wants to use has nothing to do with a seller’s price.You can’t use an FHA loan if the place is fully rented since you would need to occupy the property.

Unless this is a situation where you are turning the property around significantly, I'd only use the owner's current numbers to structure your offer.Some experienced buyers are paying higher prices because they know they'll be able to come in and execute their plan properly. 

Tyler Crawfod have you looked into first time home buyer programs or community based programs like NACA?

He finds heirs usually are out of state, far away, and often uninterested to take over, so often, he buys at a good price.Now, this is a long game, your involved with the property for long periods, unlike a flip, where you come in, you find a buyer, you're gone.
