I'm looking tor some feedback on seller financing.
I have run into two properties now that are completely paid off. Both homes are owned by ladies in their 80's whose husbands have died. Each home needs updating, but is overall excellent condition. There is not enough equity to fix and flip. I want to try and see if they will provide seller financing.
Example: Good condition 3/1 1080 sq feet. Needs updating (10k) for retail sale, but would make a solid rental with no work. Rents $900-$1100 (depending on sec 8 or not). Seller may go as low as 100k.
I see three outs for these properties.
-Rent out and keep positive cashflow property.
- Lease option the property. Might be harder without the updates
-Rent property and sell note to investor for a fee. 10k-15k.
Some questions:
Does anyone know any good books or resources to learn how to structure seller financed deals?
In one case a Realtor is involved, is there a way to cover their fees and closing costs with no out of pocket money? (8k worth of fees)
Any other advice?
