First off-market, FSBO, Seller Finance Success - Don't be afraid!

Just wanted to share my experience with my first off-market and first Seller Finance success story.

I was hesitant for so long, afraid of the unknown. Looking back, I don't know what was so scary.

- I called a title company to help me with the process and they graciously referred me to an attorney they work with.

- Using an attorney for a real estate transaction and mortgage structuring has been so easy and very cost effective.

- Offering the seller more than they thought their home was worth made them willing to finance the home for 0%.

Bottom Line - 1. Don't be scared, it never hurts to ask someone if they're willing to sell. 2. I'm going to start carrying real estate contracts with me wherever I go.
