Bottom line - All hype, bs, misinterpretation, opinion bias, etc aside, sellers willing “owner finance” the sale of their property for one reason - and one reason only: They PERCEIVE that they are getting a higher price for their property by owner financing than by a cash (cash to them) sale.The “perceive” part is why buyers can sometimes structure terms ridiculously one sided in their favor - because some sellers are so focused on PRICE they become oblivious to anything else.It’s why I and numerous others have been able to structure 20 year owner financing loans at ZERO interest; why sellers have accepted “substitution of collateral” that gave them a lien on recreational land I had rather than their own income producing property; why sellers accept second position liens and allow buyers to obtain new first mortgages ahead of theirs (subordination), and why sellers always accept mortgages without my personal guarantee.I myself sell properties and provide owner financing to obtain a higher price.
