This is a summarized version of events, but stray I rescued off the street gave birth to 7 puppies, bringing my total to 13.

I'm interested in selling them owner finance.

Purchase price: $98,500 Cash invested: $15,000 owner financed on duplex, bought from a friend of the family. hopefully many more to come

I've been made an offer of 50% down and for me (my Solo) to owner finance the other 50%.

Lets start with when it does not make sense: Owner finance does not make sense when the borrower cannot afford the property. 

One unit being owner occupied doesn't change the number of units there.

So, I drove three hours and he gets three more weeks of my hospitality.I think the judge felt sorry for him, as he is young and seems like a lost puppy. 

Im back on bigger pockets after a long hiatus; trying to start up a STR from a owner occupied 2 family home with intent to advertise on furnished finder. 

If a property is on the MLS but you're not sure if the listing agent is being truthful or passing along your offer, can you use Propstream (or something that others recommend) to mail, email, or call the owner directly with your offer?
