How to Structure a Seller Finance Deal

Looking at a potential seller finance real estate deal? If so, you’ll need to know a thing or two about creative financing before you come in with an offer. Since seller/owner financing isn’t structured in any specific way, you and the owner can meet and come up with terms that work best for you. You may even find that the seller doesn’t need a large down payment and can finance most of the deal upfront!
Ashley has a deal under her belt that took multiple times to get the financing right. Thankfully, as a “professional information getter”, Ashley was able to structure a purchase price and payment schedule that worked for her and the seller of the property. If you find an off-market deal that has seller financing potential, remember that creativity is key when putting together your offers. Don’t be afraid to ask the seller for terms that work for you!

    From what I’ve heard and done research on is if you’re looking to seller finance an on-market property, then you’ll need to pay the agents their commissions. If you try to pitch to the seller to go through seller finance without a good down payment then the agent can talk the seller out of it because they want to get paid. The way to avoid this is by finding off-market deals where you’re dealing directly with the seller and no agents are involved.

    How exactly is title to a home sorted out throughout the seller financing process? I guess what I’m asking is what are the behind the scenes steps that you have to take in order to actually get the deal done, aside from the specific terms of the deal, if that makes sense.

    ? What do you mean the seller still owns the property technically they’re just loaning you the balance and you make payments on it. When you pay it off fully in 5 10 20 years or whatever then you fully own it. Only steps you have to take is call sellers and agents and offer and explain benefits of seller financing which is they pay way less taxes and get more then they ask because of usual interest included. Then you negotiate terms and send the paperwork to the agent or seller for the seller to sign which would include purchase/sale agreement and promisory note. May be other contracts different states use so talk to your local real estate attorney if possible. But yea once seller signs everything you would have a title company or closing attorney arrange the closing depending which state you’re in. Would be best if title company or closing attorney understands these type of creative finance deals whether you go with your own or the sellers.
