With the rise in mortgage interest rates that has slowed down the real estate market more sellers are getting creative in how they sell their Properites.  Beyond the traditional ways of buying a home through a mortgage lender or simply paying all cash is the creative way of having the seller carry back a loan.  I learned this method many years ago in the 1990's with Carleton Sheet's book "How to buy your first home or investment property with no Down Payment which really was really useful information.  Carleton would always recommend using someone else's money when buying real estate and having the seller carry back a mortgage was one way of doing that.  The concept was basically the idea of talking with the owner of the property and he see if the owner

Oceanside, California is a beach town that offers a variety of views that include the ocean views and some hills and mountain views as well.  The one thing you don't think of when thinking about this small beach city is a home that has lake views.  There is a small area in North Oceanside that does offers a small lake with select properties that offer these nice water views.  The area is called Libby Lake and can be found going north on the 76 freeway and turning north on College Road where the current Walmart super center store is located.  Once you pass over the San Luis Rey River area then you are just a few blocks away from the Lake.  The Lake is so popular that they named an elementary school and neighborhood park after it.  This is a popular area
