Sellers are responsible for any liens that the property has, and those are taken off the proceeds of the seller at closing.

When we offered to buy all units, the seller happily considered financing because he had hoped originally hoped to keep two for 5 years so he could make some money over 5 years.

However, it demands strategic and cautious handling.The advantage lies in accessing capital without selling existing investments, but the risk involves putting your primary residence on the line if you can't meet the loan obligations.A HELOC should not be your primary choice, as it carries more risk than a traditional mortgage with higher interest rates.Considering your stable income and disciplined approach to investing, focus on saving for the down payment.

What's up team, I have a subject to deal that I am working, and I want to make it as comfortable for the seller as possible.

At least in NJ its always "buyer beware" (the onus is truly on the buyer) so its used as reminder especially in situations where there is a higher risk or more unknowns from the seller.  

Does seller financing works when there is a realtor involved helping the seller sell their home?

I have a demanding career, family life, and hobbies that do not include home improvement. 

The equity potential of course, but mainly I was trying to solve two issues - on one end, the seller was struggling financially and needed to sell her home but investors were aggressively trying to take advantage.

I have thrown multiple offers at a seller that only wants to sell his properties via seller finance.
