What do I need to know about Seller Financing?

Jairo Rincon

Posted

I have a property that I want to make an offer on, and I'm considering negotiating for seller financing. The property has been on the market for some time and I have watched the asking price drop over ther course of 3 months. Before I make an offer I have some questions about seller financing since this will be my first attempt at it?

1. If I go through my realtor how do they get paid since I'm not using a lender?

2. If I don't use a realtor where can I go to have a contract written up?

3. Are the closing cost more or less?

Any information will help. I want to make sure I understand want I am offering before I jump in. Thanks again BP!

One of my clients uses Brandon Sturgill as his Realtor, and he has a great, in-depth article on his website regarding your first seller financing deal.  I've only dealt with "traditional" financing, so I found the article really informative.  Here's the link!  https://www.investhypothetical.com/learn/e-book-close-your-first-seller-financed-deal
