I was using Zimplemoney to track 3-4 owner finance loans (not handle payments or escrow), the last 8 years, and last week they went up from $36/year to $23-47 per month. 

You don't look for sellers willing to do seller finance.

I purchase a couple of dozen SFR in Houston area back then all either subject to or owner financing with no personal liability.  

We've been approached by multiple buyers regarding owner carry options.

When you owner finance the note from the buyer is proceeds of the sale.

I found a Seller who I think will accept the proper Owner Financing offer.

You might be able to finance someone who can't qualify for a more traditional loan.

Yes I know for sure the previous owner filled the basement and lied it ever existed. 

I’m currently exploring opportunities to acquire my first rental property using creative financing strategies—such as owner financing, rent-to-own, or value-add approaches like BRRRR or house hacking.My goal is to get started with minimal upfront costs by leveraging smart deal structures and hands-on value creation.

While my parents aren’t the official owners, they are listed on the title.
