The more you can sell yourself and your company on the website, the easier it is to sell and negotiate when you talk to the seller, because they are already warmed up.

I think of seller finance as another 'tool' that you can use to close on a purchase.You can provide the seller(if he has anough equity) the option to purchase the property with a mortgage(with the bank) or to offer seller financing where the seller can get additional monthly income via interest.An example would be on a house where the seller is asking for $400,000Offer 1 - I can offer you $350,000 for the house with bank financing or I can offer you $380,000 if you allow seller financing. 

If you sold for cash and this money would just sit in a CD or similar fixed income asset, then seller financing is probably a solid option if you are ok with the associated risk.

If the Seller doesn't have the funds/desire to do so, then you will. 

Even though a list may appear highly motivated, like probates, you still need to touch a high number of sellers to generate enough leads to get a property under contract.

I have seen more sellers exploring it.

But generally, there are tons of other channels (although less effective) that most wholesalers use to reach motivated sellers.

@Dani Foster congrats on the decision to house hack.

Hi there - Disclaimer - I AM NOT LOOKING FOR BUYERS or potential Buyers looking for seller financing:Where could I go to deep dive on building a seller finance based business - where I am the seller providing the financing?
