I've been reading more about subject to and here's what I've learned:-Good for sellers who are off market-Have low to no equity-Have a mortgage with a low interest rate (less than 5%)-Be absentee or out of state (vacant property, or have a tenant)The buyer would then take over the mortgage payments, and have the seller sign the deed over to the buyer.

We're ramping up to offer seller financing in BR this year, and we buy seller finance notes in LA in some circumstances.

First of all it's very rare a seller gets a buyer's EMD deposit for buyer's financing falling thru.

He is open to seller finance with 0% interest.

Seller was extremely motivated to sell and we closed pretty quickly.Here's the issue- we've been unable to rent the 2 renovated units.

I wouldn't go into it with any preconceived notions of what the owner's intentions, situation or motivation may be.

Most sellers that are open to selling you a deal off-market are just like I was with my rentals: the way to motivate them to sell is to give them a price HIGHER than they think they can get on the market.  

Contact potential sellers who are not actively seeking to sell their real estate holdings.  

But the real key is to find motivated sellers.

@Erick Pena who cares what the seller is asking?
