Looking to close my first Owner-Financed Deal - Need Resources

Hello BP Family!

I am hoping someone can give me a little direction.  I am looking to purchase my first owner-financed deal back in my home town in Nebraska.  The current investor owns the property free-and-clear and I think I almost have her convinced to sell me the house with owner-financing.   She does not want to take a big tax hit as she is currently retired, and I cannot use conventional financing as I have just changed careers and am no longer loan worthy.  So, I think this would be the perfect strategy to solve both of our problems!

Would anyone have some insight into where I could find resources to educate myself on the deal structure of owner financing?? I would like to be knowledgeable enough to effectively teach her about the structure of the deal so I can better resolve any apprehensions she may have.

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide!

    You want to shoot for as little down as possible and monthly payments as low as possible. Keep the balloon 10 years + and get a good title company to draft up the paperwork. All terms on owner finance are 100% negotiable, don't let anyone tell you otherwise
