I'm looking into Owner Financing deals and wondering if it's a good idea to bring the realtor I typically work with into the discussion or not. My thought in NOT doing so is that it would give the selling agent freedom to maybe offer to take a lower commission (since they won't have to split it) and would entice the sellers more to accept my offer. I can just have the selling agent submit my offers anyway. I'm finding these deals and valuing the properties on my own so I don't feel like using an agent would be that much help except holding my hand through the process.

I'm not asking them to do anything. I said they might offer that on their own since they won't have to split commission. So far no one has told me I need 20% down and closing costs so I'm not sure why you're saying that.

I am not. Also, how does that relate to my question at all? Pretend I have 50% down or I have 5% down, it doesn't change the question: should I use a buyer agent to represent me or not?
