Quote from @Heidi Christensen: For those using seller financing, how do you handle the due-on-sale clause conversation with sellers?

Shot you a connection, and looking forward to our conversation!

Life events can certainly disrupt finances, but at the end of the day, you’re running a business and need to protect your assets.Since you've already had multiple conversations and haven’t seen meaningful progress, moving forward with the formal process, like a 3-day notice, makes sense.

Prorating personal vs. rental use: If you moved in later in the year, you’d need to prorate deductions between personal and rental use.Other tax considerations: Beyond cost segregation, there are other strategies you could explore with a CPA, such as deducting expenses like property management, maintenance, and mortgage interest, or planning for future rental vs. personal use conversions to maximize tax benefits.Because this can become nuanced, it’s best to sit down with a CPA experienced in real estate rentals and cost segregation to ensure everything is allocated correctly.

Have you had a conversation with them? 

Real Estate Side Hustle by Devon Kennard), and conversations with real estate investors in the area, I'm starting to put together my "Core 4" team members. 

They probably are only remembering the hour conversation they had with the agent that called right away.

Each stage answers one question in the buyer or seller’s mind and points to the next step.Why it matters:Consistent lead flow: traffic turns into conversations on purpose, not by luck.Better lead quality: offers and messages match the right stage.Less wasted time: you focus on people who are moving forward.Easy to measure: you can see where the drop-offs happen and fix them.How to Do It RightStep 1: Define one audience and one outcome – Pick buyers or sellers, and choose one clear goal.

I'd welcome your thoughts, and am open to a conversation offline too--we haven't chosen a realtor yet.

Happy to keep the conversation going!
