The best success I have had with seller financing is to listen first to the sellers problem before proposing a solution.Typically a seller finance transaction involves :1) Purchase & sale agreement2) Note3) Recorded deed of trust or mortgage depending on your state.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,I'm currently engaged in cold calling homeowners whose properties are nearing tax sale, and I'm encountering numerous LLCs that have forfeited and are inactive.

The key is to figure out what is in demand and under supplied in your area and what your particular property is suited to.

It seems like the income is significantly reduced when there is a mortgage but as a newbie I am trying to figure this out.Thanks!!
