Three Reasons WHY a seller would seller finance with 0% down

[Logan M.]

Initially, when I started in real estate I could never understand why a seller would sell a property for nothing down or other advantageous terms to an investor. I realized that I was thinking the way I think and not how they think, here are three reasons why a seller would seller finance with 0% down.

1. They are in a bad spot because of poor management, this is very common in medium-sized multi-family, roughly 5-50 units.

2. They would rather have cash flow paying them more money over time than a lump sum, this could include a higher purchase price.

3. They are having trouble selling the property and want to offload it ASAP.

There are billions of dollars of real estate sitting there waiting for you to find them.
