I know plenty of people rent them, rent to own, or lease purchase, but how about selling them like a traditional home - How difficult is it to find qualified buyers? 

OK, so my husband and I just got into a huuuge argument over this.He is not associated with real estate in any way btw.I was trying to explain to him my plan/strategy to acquire a bunch of owner financed investment pr...

its value is different for you compared to an investor and compared to an owner occupant. if your wholesaling than your value is as follows: ARV minus repairs, holding buying/selling costs & contingency, that total minus what you want to make as a wholeseller = purchase price/value of the homean investor may see the property in the same fashion just without the wholeseller portion so an investor is able to put a higher purchase price/value on it. an owner occupant doesnt see holding, buying/selling costs as an expense. they only see repairs costs as an expense normally so they would put a purchase price/value of the home even higher than a whole seller and an investor would. so the traditional mindset of a set value doesn't apply to real estate investing. that is more for the end buyer/user.

Remember, all money withdrawn from your traditional IRA is taxed at your ordinary income tax rate -- even capital gains.  

You'll be rich soon. 

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.
