@Account Closed you are sooo right!

Free and clear houses are approx 1/3 of the market.

Offer them full price, buy Investor to Investor, so no Dodd Frank Law.

Get a payment so you can rent out with positive cash flow. You will be paying all costs...maintenance, taxes, insurance. You get tax benefits.

Idea: Get 10 OF deals NOW and maybe have 10 free and clear houses in 15 years! Sell, refi, keep. Up to you!

Give the seller a copy of this

If you are Investor to Investor, you can do any kind of SF deal you want.

If you are living in it, go see a RMLO too and get the Ability to Repay ok'ed.

I thought I would add that the Dodd Frank Act when Investor to Investor, anything goes.

Dodd Frank Act is only when Owner Financing to OO Owner Occupant.

A great primer on Seller Financing is http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/seller-financing-home-sales-30164.html

Get a lawyer EXPERIENCED in seller financing, most are not.

It has some "life estate" similarities.

Thanks for your advice.

Now, that is spooky, you thanked me before I posted and mentioned what I suggested! You should be a very wealthy man James! :)

What Bill Gulley knows about financial instruments is spooky.

Now if @Jon Holdman could get this thread over to Rent to Own - Lease Purchase http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/83-rent-to-own-a-k-a-lease-purchase-lease-options

You are stuck amigo.

Unless @Bill Gulley can think of something.

And why would you risk your reputation selling something at $40,000 over market? U R a licensed broker?

If your crystal ball is 10% over 18 months, offer the lease option with a purchase price at new appraisal in 18 months, but that is not a pure option, you need a set current price to be a pure option.

And you risk that being a disguised sale per the IRS.

You are basically underwater.

I would lease it for market rent and offer a Contract for Option to Purchase. (CFO) If they finish the lease they can buy it at new appraisal. Create a Delayed Sale and Purchase Agreement. Hold it in escrow.

Or use a ROFR (right of first refusal).

Why would any sane person pay more than appraisal?
