Seller Financing on Multi-Family and Single-Family Rentals

[Zach Grigg]

I'm looking at creative strategies to build my portfolio. One of those strategies is acquiring SF and MF properties through seller financing options. My first question is, are there any REIs who have scaled their portfolio using seller financing to acquire more properties quicker or even larger units than they could with traditional financing methods? My second question - has anyone ever had luck calling landlords or other REIs to see if they have any properties in their portfolio they would be willing to part ways with using this method? In what I have seen, this is a good option for early investors who don't particularly have the capital to go in on deals with cash as long as it is structured appropriately. There's some deeper knowledge that goes behind seller financing, but I'm curious to pick the BP community and what your thoughts/experience are with this strategy and how you come to acquire properties using seller financing.
