In order for this owner to be in a position to do owner financing on a $1,000,000.00 property it means he is a fat cat with allot of experience who will take 10 to 20 new investors just like you and eat you for breakfast. 

We thought these were old rat dropping dating back since the 70s, until we discovered two fat rats that were still alive and well.

Now that they are completed the buyers are unable to get permanent financing because the banks don't want to touch them.

I'm also hesitant to bet heavily on permanent tax deferral strategies (e.g., "buy, borrow, die") as a lot could change about the tax code over my lifetime.

Now a permanent buy down option (where they just pay points in a traditional manner) can solve some minor DTI issues.  

Hope there isn't too much exposure but wouldn't surprise me if somebody ends up with a fat fine from the SEC after this.... 

I hate paying $10 a cylinder to rekey, but it's better than a tenant permanently locked out of a unit with only one door.  

You can't take an education back from someone, so making it permanent debt was the solution to facilitate lending at reasonable rates.I see your point about some degrees being more practical than others, but I can only imagine the outcry if banks were allowed to pick "winners and losers" among career choices.The bigger factor here is something you address almost weekly in your podcast.

If so you should be able to talk to a lender that has experience with construction-to-permanent financing.
