I was considering selling a property seller financing. 7% interest on a 350k home I was looking at $1900 a month for 30 years with 20% down. It’s not a great rental, 12 acres, maintaining the well, multiple out buildings. It was attractive to me because I make about 600k on the deal, plus I can front load all the interest. I bought a home off CL once seller financing. It was 6% interest, 20% down, full price offer, $1,000 a month and had a balloon payment in 3 years. We did the title transfer, seller remained as lien holder. It was highly distressed, doors kicked in, animals getting inside, water wasn’t drinkable, plumbing was leaking, no sewer connection. It had a solid frame, foundation, and electrical ran. It was quite the salvage job, but worked out really well for me. If the real estate market swings to a buyer market they become more common, but it’s typically homes that can’t get conventional financing.

I have a 3 family in an urban northeast city that I would love to seller finance but not sure how to find someone. Any ideas? Also I presume I would transfer the deed for the Buyer giving me a mortgage and therefore I have zero responsibilities. Is that correct?

Hire a local Realtor who is a Buyers Agent specializing in direct marketing on behalf of buyers. They may have a list of “off market” homes or they can run a special marketing campaign for you in your desired area to find homes willing to sell with seller financing. Some Realtors will charge an upfront fee for that service & others will let you pay it at closing. I am happy to help you out with a referral.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping).

Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
