Seller financing objection

[Jon Blackburn]

I got a seller of a mfh on the phone last night, and asked if he’d be interested in seller financing if I offered higher on the property. He shared that he’d previously done two seller financing deals (Yes!), but that one went poorly and ended up costing him time and money in legal proceedings. And because of that experience, he’ll never do that again (No!).

How would you overcome that objection? Perhaps there’s some way to structure these deals that would give the seller more protections? Or should I just move on to the next deal?
