Easing an owner financers mind

[Mike Murphy]

Hello everyone. I was wondering if I could get some oppinions. I am working a 2 duplex possible owner finance deal, and she is a little hesitant. What seems to be her biggest hurdle is "what if you damage it/dont take care of it?" Any tips on how I could ease her mind? Obviously I wouldnt go into this with the intention of letting it go, but I guess she has a valid point. I would really like to make this deal, but I want her to be comfortable with it. What are your thoughts since there really is no guarentee that I will keep it up?

I certainly would not include any language in my agreement which allowed for an "opinion" later, a situation which you have no control over, or any language which creates a deed restriction.

Reality is that if the seller doesn’t say yes to "your" terms then she isn’t your seller.

Go find one that will.
