Just a note that there are other secured debts you can loan on as well. Several years ago I did similar method with mobile homes. I know it not the most glamorous, but it was great money and a very good learning experience. I did not have the money to do regualr homes and it was the same concept. There were lots of mobiles for sale, but no bank would lend on them. I contacted the sellers, took an option to sell the place for them ($20). Then I would advertise in Penny Saver to own for $200/month. So I would get buyers who would pay me $500 down and $200/mo for 3-5 years. I usually could by these for about $2k. My very first deal I pulled in over $5000 from my initial $1200 buy in about three years. People would stay for a year or so and then move on. Note, because I was 'selling' they usually fixed the places up themsleves. I would never rent. I was lien holder on the loans and that was all. It was then I learned it is nicer to have people going to work because they owe you money!
