Rookie Reply: Seller Financing 101


Once again, Ashley’s DMs are open for questions! This week, Brendan direct messaged Ashley asking: I’m looking at a 10-unit property at $1.9M. The current owner only has 4/10 units rented, but banks require 75% occupancy to finance. The seller would be interested in owner financing. Where do I start?

It’s good to note that no two seller financing deals are the same. Different sellers want different things out of a sale and it’s up to you, as the buyer, to find the things they really need to get the deal done. If you’re able to do that, you could get a great property under contract with little-to-no money down!

Tony:
Yeah.

Ashley:
So we have Brendan Flannery who slid into my DMs and has a question for us today. He said, “Hey, Ashley, my name is Brendan. I attended BPCON2021, and my biggest takeaway was go bigger, do deals with more zeros.” First of all, I love that, and Brendan, I wish we could have gotten to meet at the BiggerPockets Conference. If you guys did not go this year, make sure you check it out for next year. It’s not been announced yet where it will be, but sometime in the fall of 2022, and you can get…
