Recently came across a home and a seller is requesting owner financing only. I am a wholesaler but a new one in the industry. Would y’all please provide some direction to me on this subject and whether it is viable to wholesale a house by owner financing only.

There's a few reasons why they would want to, probably tax reasons. I think the deal could work as long as there is enough meat on the bone. You'd just attach an origination fee onto the closing cost.

Yes you can wholesale an owner financed home. You need to find a buyer looking for owner financing and assign your purchase contract to them for a fee. This is a strategy many people focus on especially when there is little to no equity in a property for an investor.

Thanks Greg, truly appreciate the knowledge!

@Parker Collins not likely. Whereas I Owner Finance deals I have insight into your question. I get calls from wholesalers all the time on my properties. I simply tell them that, "I'm selling the property at a retail price." They usually gets off the phone pretty fast at that point. If you want to bring them a buyer get your realtor license or figure a way to do a JV of some kind so you get paid. Unless your working with a seller that does multiple Owner Finance transactions then you are probably just wasting your time without being an agent. You could assign the contract, but a lot of owner Finance sellers want direct contact with the buyer, before moving forward to insure a buyer is a good fit.

@Account Closed Thanks for the insight Joel!
