While it's good to think creatively, all of my seller-financed buys have been from tired landlords that own free and clear.   

I will keep looking, probably need to get a little more creative to find something other than just scanning Zillow 

I could also move on to multi family so that more units are acquired per transaction but wonder how much of a different beast it is than SFH and if I'd have to start competing with institutions and folks who invest full time, are better resourced, and have creative financing options that I'm unaware of and/or are inaccessible to me.Thanks for making it all the way to the end!
