Most of the time the seller was either going to pay off high interest debt - like 19% credit cards, or invest in a greater investment opportunity.So, considering all of this, why do owner financing deals get made?

Hey Sharad, be happy to chat over the phone when you have time. 

There are key indicators outside of credit that will help you make a decision

It seems like it would be better to form relationships with brokers, agents, property managers or other people that would have input into many owners. 

But it will take time.

Professionally, I have a background in technology consulting and product management.

Ben Hi Ben,Some property management platforms offer rent reporting if you process payments through the service. 

For every 100 deals they send, 1 might be an actual deal.To answer the question in your subject line - I flip between 1-3 properties at a time.

Do you have at least 1 year of on time payments?
