@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!

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.

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?
