Seller Financing
Creative Financing for Buyers and Sellers
Fellow REIA Member George Pressley of Green Path Real Estate and Integrity First Mutual Mortgage joins us to provide education on Seller Financing!
What is Seller Financing? Seller financing is an arrangement and related agreement that allows the buyer to make their payments to the seller rather than to a bank or mortgage company. It takes all shapes and forms including short or long term financing, interest only, principal and interest, deferred payments and more.
Seller Financing is a powerful technique that every real estate investor should know. It can be the most practical strategy for specific properties or market adaptation and can be applicable to any property type including flips, potential rentals of all sizes and types from singles to multi-family, commercial, land development or wholesale transactions.
Topics discussed in this meeting include:
- Use in specific markets and circumstances
- Closing time: seller financing vs. conventional mortgages
- Addressing "as is" condition
- How payments can successfully be negotiated
- Delaying payments during rehabs and lease-ups
- Seller financing with an underlying mortgage
- The financial bottom lines for both the buyer and seller
- Effect on the seller's capital gains
- Protecting the buyer's payments, protecting the deed
- Risks and benefits
There will be ample opportunity for Q & A! Bring your questions!
