@Alecia Loveless I made 500 seller financing offers to listing agents and not one of them presented it to their seller.However, 30% of sellers are willing to finance some or all of their equity.If you want seller financing there's only one thing you need to do: Talk to the seller yourself.I don't make seller financed offers to sellers.

I am a little late to enter the real estate investing world but motivated to start.

I have two stories of sellers that got out of difficult situations and think it's a huge benefit for everyone else to know about it!

Direct-to-Seller Still Works, But Only When It’s TargetedMass mailers and wide SMS blasts aren’t producing like they used to.

OP is asking about seller financing here, not sub2, and my reply was about seller financing, not Sub2.

I have noticed that investors who focus on rehabs and flips often find it helpful to have a clear system to track motivated sellers and off-market opportunities.

I am all for finding a motivated seller and getting a good purchase.The reality is most sellers have below market financing and little incentive to accept a noticeably below market offer.Unfortunately, in most markets paying market price with market financing bleeds cash as a traditional LTR. 2 recent studies show that it is cheaper to rent than own in virtually every large city in the UD.
