Post: Ways to structure a seller finance deal

I have a property I would like to sell:

-Market value: 450,000

-Purchased in 2020

- Mortgage has $153k left at 4% (conventional)

The market is slowing down a bit and since I no longer would qualify for conventional loans, I am considering offering seller financing to generate some interest and get the best sale price.

I would love some ideas of how to structure this properly. 

To my knowledge, it is better to have a buyer assume the mortgage, I just dont know how the rest of the terms would be.

I would much prefer to avoid the word eviction... She let me know a few months back that she was looking for another rental. I hope I am able to communicate this in a way where we are working together rather than against eachother, I am more than happy to help her find another rental as well.

I am looking to 1031 the first investment property I bought. Its a 2 family home in a rough neighborhood, one side vacant and the other is occupied.

I have an okay relationship with the existing tenant but it has been a constant struggle with late rent, her keeping the property a mess, and her unit is disgusting, etc. 

The property is located in Florida and I would like to have the property completely vacant for the sale because I know her unit and her mess will turn away any potential buyer.

(even if I was keeping the property, I would want her gone, each time I am there I am picking up a handful of diapers on the property? Why am I picking up diapers? I dont understand how this even happens, does she occasionally open up her front door and and fling a diaper on the property?)

Anyways, would you suggest trying to evict her myself or is it worth spending the money on a lawyer to have this done properly?

Thought I would keep everyone updated, the tenant is paid in full!

Post: Handwritten letters to get listings

Hey,

I have had luck in the past with sending out handwritten letters to potential buyers. I hate the golden letter approach "I have a buyer that wants to buy your house, etc." I know a lot of agents will use this without having a buyer.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a template that is effective and reduces the need to lie on the letter.

Thanks!
