Was a full time civil engineer and hated every second of it. I saved no money, had not plan, and quit my job (decision was made same day). Submerged myself in real estate and investing full time.

I was in route to engineering myself before I decided I would lose a lot of time with my daughter. She'll be a teenager and wanting nothing to do with me before I know it so had to make the jump. Seems like I made the right choice.

Thank you Eliott

Quote from @Rick Pozos:

I love to cut out the bank(Those dirty ba$tard$) The problem is that most people want the cash, RIGHT NOW. When they do, there is only a cash offer that will work. Sometimes that is private lender(or bank) or my cash.

If they are somewhat flexible the owner financing comes into play. 25yr amortization with a 3yr or 5 yr or 10yr balloon. I love it. If I am selling I love the same terms. I would rather do a 10 year balloon so that I know I have a certain amount of money coming in for 10 years and THEN a nice chunk down the road. Or you can even spread it out again for another 10 or 20 years if you dont need the money at that time.

Appreciate the feed back Rick. Personally I'm going to have to do more research on balloon payments before I'd feel comfortable recommending one, but I appreciate the idea! Sounds like a really solid investment strategy

Were most of your SF purchases done via the seller be aware of SF or did you have to lead them to the better opportunity for both parties?

Just wondering how often these situations come up in everyday transactions or if it's an opportunistic type of deal.

Sure, Robert.
Because my target seller had tired plexes, owned for a long time and self-managed, most were open to my 3 scenario LOI offer listing cash out, SF or a MLO with the price rising each time.
They'd then say they like option b (SF) so we'd discuss further.

Wow great strategy. Thanks for the tips Steve!

Quote from @Tristan Gardner:

I've also been tossing this idea around here in Ohio. Have you done much research on zoning?

Yes but not in Ohio. In my home state of North Carolina, the laws are pretty straightforward in terms of zoning and minimum sq footage. Also, buy putting wheels on the tiny homes and making them "mobile homes" presents a good opportunity to treat them like RVs and RV parks. This appears to be "Getaway House's" business model. I definitely need to keep reading up on the laws but there could be ways around them!

Love the RV park concept. Going to dig around as see how this concept would work in my county. Appreciate the idea Aidan!

Looking for folks who are out there sharing their journeys to growing their portfolio's or making bank roll through REI!

If you're a seasoned vet and sharing all the lessons you learned back in the day, I'd love to see that too!

Share your YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

Best to learn from all kinds of minds IMO

Excited to see what you all have to share and I appreciate the free education ;)

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the response. Seems like SF has a lot of potential to save money up front! Were most of your SF purchases done via the seller be aware of SF or did you have to lead them to the better opportunity for both parties?

Just wondering how often these situations come up in everyday transactions or if it's an opportunistic type of deal.

Appreciate the feedback again Steve!

Hey everyone,

Curious who’s using seller financing in their business, either to own or sell, and why they chose that route?

Trying to get more creative ways for my clients to fund deals.

Details are appreciated! Would love a good story if you have the time to share 😎

Thank you in advance!
