Seller Will Carry...???

I am new to the RE World as I have said before so I am looking for some help with this topic.

I am currently looking at Multi-Family Units and came across a 4 Plex that is fully rented, good area etc....and in the post it says Owner WILL Carry. I am not sure what that exactly means or how I should handle it and what to look out for. Is this a good thing or is it a Bad thing and what potential risks might there be?

Everything Paul says is very reasonable.

But I'm going to step back a step, because it sounds to me like you were simply asking what, "Seller will carry" means.

And what it means is that the owner is willing to provide financing, so you don't need to get a mortgage from a bank.

In my experience, when a seller advertises that, they also have an asking price that is too high.  But there are posters on BP who have amassed literal fortunes with seller financing.
