130 Multifamily Units With This Simple Seller Financing Strategy
Episode #799
You can build a multifamily real estate portfolio without a ton of money, risk, or time. Cody Davis and Christian Osgood built their multimillion-dollar rental property portfolio in a matter of years, using strategies that ANYONE, no matter their experience level, can use. But, how they do things is a little unconventional and probably goes against everything top real estate investors have been telling you.
While the world looked to lock down as much debt as possible during 2020-2021’s low mortgage rates, Cody and Christian sought something else. This dynamic investing duo wanted long-term debt on excellent properties that could be paid off quickly, enabling them to own their portfolio outright. This meant that Cody and Christian would have to sacrifice a substantial amount of cash flow, keep their spending low, and only buy the best properties out there.
How Cody and Christian bought the properties is a strategy you most likely haven’t heard of before. It’s so ingenious that if you follow the same steps as Cody and Christian, you’ll be able to get THE best properties, at the best price, from a seller who WANTS you to make money off them. Doesn’t sound possible in such a cutthroat industry, does it? Stick around to learn the EXACT steps Cody and Christian took to build their low-risk, high-reward, eight-figure portfolio.

Lots of big money out there trying to compete. Every owner of multi-family who we have approached with a seller-financing offer, would just find someone willing to buy with bank financing which entices the owner(s) more than continuing to get monthly drips. Seems in most cases the owner (or the owner's kids who inherited the property) doesn't care about the tax implications of a sale, they want lump sum and they want it now regardless of the benefits that are explained to them about seller financing. Many are original / long time owners who are 80-90 yrs old, they don't even understand or even know how to read a seller financing contract. They understand one thing and one thing only.....the price you are giving them and how quickly they can have that money in their hands. And if they passed and it's a handful of kids squabbling over an inheritance, all it takes is 1 who wants lump sum and forces the sale and no one wants monthly drips they want all of the money now.

We actually completely disagree with this. We have found most owners (even in their 70's or 80's are externally sharp and experienced ms which is how they acquired and payed off massive portfolios. We have found more than half have not received a realistic seller financed offer and more than half of them prefer to avoid a lump sum. These findings have been consistent in every corner of the USA.

@@vm.x 12-30 doors. mom and pop. these aren't financially sophisticated people, they simply bought a small apartment complex back when it was easy to do, and did the bare minimum to keep things chugging along. their rents are all jokingly below market, and the units are all dated. many times original owners, in their 70's-90's, sometimes we are dealing directly with their kids who inherited the property. No one had a single interest in a complicated seller financing contract. Most reply with "I thought you wanted to buy the property"....these people want to wash their hands of everything. Everything. Having to deal with a seller financing contract and make sure they are receiving their monthly drips, is not washing hands to these people. They want their money, they want to cash out, and they want to move on so they can go buy shore houses or mountain homes etc. They don't even care about the tax implications of the sale.

Nice to here someone talking about a strategy to actually pay off the investment and create a Next Level of Wealth where debt becomes obsolete.
I went with 5 year balloons and of course in retrospect it wasn't a great idea. However, I bought well and the properties will still perform well, or be sellable at FMV due to GRM being really good.

@@Multifamilystrategy Couple of ideas: 1) You should redefine the formats of the video, e.g. 2-3 minutes as quicky statement regarding one question, 15-20 minutes as compact format and 30-45 minutes for guest with a story plus topic experts 2) You should better structure the interviews and stick to the plan 3) Shorten the introduction of the guest, e.g. by reading out an intro card with the personal background, and the current assets portfolio. Then, start with the real topic. I do not care to which kindergarden Tiffany went 25 years ago. 4) Make a short outline of the video below in the note, e.g. 02:00 intro; 04:00 portfolio 08:00 portfolio 12.00 intro strategy and 15: 00 financing. This would allow to jump directly to relevant parts of the video.

When you need financing for the purchase of multifamily real estate property, the banks looks at the rental income, Net Operating income, the DCR and the market value. Your personal income doesn’t need to enter the qualification criterias. @gilbertchecoury

While seller financing requires none of these qualifications, you as the buyer should pay very close attention to them. Especially DSCR.
