Re: selling single-family residential homes for seller financing, as well as my current deal in-process - selling my mixed-use commercial property in rural southeast TN, in a tourist area, to a well-vetted prospective buyer.

It is about 30 units with 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms mixed with moderate size, concrete if possible.I searched some newer units for sale.

You can either seek a portfolio loan that allows mixed commercial property types or an equity loan (2nd mortgage) on your stabilized multifamily to get the cash-out. 

It seems investors have mixed feelings about buying rentals in the Metrohealth area. 

I'd be interested in connecting with those of you who are active in that market if you are willing to chat over PM, do a quick phone call (10 - 15 mins) and I'm also more than happy to invite you for drinks if you live in the Bay Area like me.

I tend to target SAFE blue collar markets, but data on Forest Park seems mixed.

And a portland based floor leveler requires you to normally mix in some type of pea stone if you are going over 1/2" and up to 1 1/2" .

And those that get behind almost never even stay even after that, as their rental debt becomes a number they don't think they'll ever pay, vs. the current utilities, phone bill, cable bill, smokes and drinks, etc.

Midwest would be the sweet spot for properties, you have a mix of job growth and migration towards those cities while prices are affordable.

Some of it was mistakes on their end due to using two separate databases and confusing this loan with my pending HELOC (we still ended up with a mix up on which closing company to use with which loan).
