@Lance Turner - I've done several creative financing deals, such as lease-options, subject-to and seller-financing - where friends and family were heavily advising the seller against it (they always do).

Why are you looking for seller financing?

Seller financing simply means the Seller is providing financing.

For anyone who has sold a note before, what advice would you give to a first-time seller?

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.

In terms of private equity or debt funds, some will look at it if the seller note is properly subordinated and the DSCR checks out.

And here’s where the opportunity lies:Lease options, specifically 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, let investors step in and solve these homeowners’ problems.Motivated sellers become motivated partners when you can offer a profitable solution with speed and simplicity.For new investors, this is one of the easiest entry points into real estate.

As a seller, there is no way I would transfer the deed to my property without having the loan in my name extinguished.

I read your post twice and didn't see in there if the seller is game for a seller finance deal.

He asked if I'd do seller financing and that the city says it would take about 5 to 6 months to give him the necessary permits to start building.
