Hello Joshua, we invest in West Texas area, all short-term rentals (4 1/2 years experience).

While I don’t have experience wholesaling myself, I’ve worked with both first-time wholesalers and seasoned pros on their hundredth deal.

My primary focus is on the BRRR method, with a greater emphasis on appreciation over cash flow.For those with experience investing in Cleveland, I’d greatly appreciate any insights on neighborhoods worth focusing on.

The underwriting process is certainly more arduous than most acquisitions but through my personal experiences some of the lenders are far more knowledgeable about the requirements and make for a far easier process for both seller and buyer.

In my experience (personal & w/clients) the wife usually doesn't want to pick up and move too often to stick with a strategy like yours.

But even then, seller financing is rarely substantially better than another investment they could make (including trust deed lending, which will often be at a higher rate than seller financing)In my experience, the owners who find owner financing advantageous are at the ends of their careers and are not interested in looking for another investment (other than the usual retirement funding sorts.)

If they're evaluating other properties and you have a good social presence that gives them peace of mind and a good sense that they'll have a nice living experience, that could be the tipping point if they're considering a similar property.
