Question about owner finance
Hello all! While driving for dollars, I found a property that is on the MLS that has been listed over 100 days. The owner is an absentee owner and I'm interested in seeing if they would be interested in owner financing the property. My question is whether I should skip trace the owner and market directly to them, contact their realtor and when with the realtor, or contact the realtor and see if they can put me in touch with the seller to better talk about terms.
