For the grantor, the main tax benefit is that he or she receives the amount paid for the option without incurring income tax at that time.

It sounds like you'd really benefit from going to some local meetups.

Sometimes they’re willing to part with a home quickly and know that they can retire or do as they please and they want a steady monthly income rather than a large all once payment so this strategy may benefit both sides in your case.

For my rentals, the appreciation has been a greater benefit than the cash flow.

How can you explain seller financing to the owner in a way that benefits him more than having the property sit on the market. 

We think of it as something for the benefit of the landlord because the money is direct deposited to the landlord's account, but it is really for the tenant.

The seller doesn't "need" a sub-to buyer, but after explaining to him the benefits to him and me he wants to.

Other benefits of new construction included a home warranty, all new appliances, and ability to have all your properties match.

I understand there are certain tax benefits in starting the LLC in Wyoming or Delaware, however, I am unsure if I need to create the LLC in Tennessee as this is where I will be purchasing the property.
