Well, seeing as how everyone likes to mention Rich Dad Poor Dad on the podcast, I figured maybe we can start a book suggestion thread?

As for (realty brokerage catering) MLS services also offering (competing) LO, or other 'owner- financed' listings... that won't happen unless / until there's sufficient 'disruptive' reorganization and / or other larger realty companies start (seriously) thinking outside the 'traditional' box, vs. partnering with the likes of that (big lending - insider) company that was making people sign an absurd 50+ page LO contract (and ripping many of them off...) giving 'rent to own' home purchases, a BAD NAME.

I've done Ron LeGrand's Boot Camp as well as the 3 day Rich Dad Real Estate seminar, and I've read a bunch of great books!!

First round I did in 3 weeks (about 330/week) with traditional yellow letters. 2nd round (postcards) will start this week.

I'm getting feedback that my home will be worth a little more than I was penciling in my conservative estimates so I'll likely go the traditional route and get out of it right now.  

I have been interested in real estate going on five years now, every since i read the classic Rich Dad Poor Dad.  

A traditional lender is not likely to do that.

The homeowner now actually is working to acquire a traditional mortgage from a bank to payoff the original owner who holds the current mortgage.  

Whether the lender takes this action or not is at their discretion.The next fact is the difference between Canadian mortgage terms and those in the U.S.A on residential properties (traditionally 1-4 units, some Canadian lenders will write residential mortgages on 5 & 6 unit properties under a certain dollar value).
