@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 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.

With a motivated seller and a strong local market, it offered a low-risk opportunity to generate quick returns through timing and execution rather than construction.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

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

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