I agree. The reality is that he has no money, he is putting no money done, wants us to take all the risk, and to "Trust" him.  I never felt comfortable about this and I do not trust the situation. My thing is, if you have an investor, then just go through the normal processes.

Hello Everyone,

 I have a buyer who wants my client to allow them to purchase a building on land contract. They want the land contract for the purposes of obtaining financing only. Has anyone used this form of creative financing to get a deal done.

Please advise. A little more information:

1. I am the real estate agent

2. My client owns the building

3. The buyer wants a land contract on the building for 60 days to acquire financing

4. They claim to have an investor lined up already (gave us a letter of intent from investor

5. My thoughts were, since you already have the investor, just do the purchase outright (we were told that it is easier to refinance then to get a new loan for a property.

6. The building was a senior care facility with 110,000 square feet.

Appreciate any input relevant to the question asked, thanks.
