It's usually a red flag when a prospective buyer asks for seller financing.
If a buyer can't get a loan from a traditional bank, it's likely they either can't afford the property or have something to hide.
If the buyer has significant cash for a down payment and the seller is willing to provide seller financing, it could be a huge win-win.
But if the buyer has little cash to put down, move on because you're wasting your time.
Inverting your approach often leads to better results
Don’t tell a seller your a buyer
Say you’ll only lease
If you wanna get to pro level tell them you’ll lend
That changes the whole dynamic of the conversation
Good luck

We’re officially exiting the single family rental game. Sold 1 property in March 2025, 1 goes on the market on January 5th and the last on April 1st. It’s been a wild ride these last 5 years and I can confidentially say that I’ll never do that again.
It's actually unbelievable how much people list properties on investor lift for
I just saw a property literally listed for more than what it would be listed for on market lol

Thank you to our incredible partners who contributed to this project and helped bring the vision to life.
Buying a plane for $260,000 without pulling my credit.
Putting $90K down payment. OPM.
Getting a full tax benefit of $260,000 which will wipe out about $115,000 of my tax bill this year.
Renting it out to a flight school for a triple net lease of $7,000 per month. Pays the monthly nut PLUS a few grand in pocket. Welcome to how the rich dont pay taxes.
guy makes $15k/month from TikTok. never posted a single video.
he runs 89 VPS servers for 340 creators who think they're just "good at the algorithm."
they're not. they're just posting from clean IPs.
the business model:
> rent Hetzner VPS servers ($3.50 each)
> install Outline VPN
> support 3-4 creator accounts per server
> charge creators $180/month for "premium VPN service"
$312/month cost. $61,200/month revenue.
the performance difference is insane.
same creator, NordVPN: 430 avg views, shadowbanned every 2-3 weeks
same creator, his VPS: 52,000 avg views, zero shadowbans in 6 months
only variable: IP trust score.
consumer VPNs share one IP with 5,000+ users. dropshippers. bot farmers. banned accounts. TikTok sees spam network.
his VPS? 3-4 vetted creators per IP. clean history. TikTok sees legitimate users.
the brutal math:
shared IP gets 200 test viewers. need 8% CTR = 16 engaged viewers. not enough data. video dies.
clean IP gets 20,000 test viewers. same 8% CTR = 1,600 engaged viewers. enough data to scale. video explodes.
100x reach difference before content quality matters.
everyone's optimizing hooks when they should optimize infrastructure.
perfect hooks on shit IP: 400 views
mediocre hooks on clean IP: 40,000 views
the game is decided before content quality matters.
I already covered the full VPS setup in a previous thread.

infrastructure > content.
@N8RealEstate Just labor? It can definitely be cheaper. But does your contractor have your back when you need it? Its all about the relationship. How much you trust them etc. I overpay for that stuff but I also pay the low labor prices with other people.
My contractor charged me $2,100 to do the backsplash, install cabinets and countertops, installed the sink and the microwave, cabinet handles and light fixture.
Is this a good deal?
Disputing another appraisal on a BRRR I'm doing
PP: $40k
Rehab: $30k
ARV: $105-$110k
Appraisal came back at $80k, the appraiser said "I don't know how I can justify an appraisal over $100k whenever you bought it for $40k and put $30k into it"
The house was probably worth $60k as it sits, and I'm able to get my work done cheaper than most people
So if I over paid and paid $50k for the same exact work, the house would be worth more?
I sent him 4+ comps of properties in worse or the same condition ranging from $105-$140k
In this guys defense though he was from out of town
8 on its side blows up your IRR.
Discount Sale has more upside than your Credit Deal.
Walking Debt trumps Banker Relationship.
Buying with Created Equity will bury your Syndication.
Having Friends in Real Estate trucks your Client List.
@Bay2WallCRE Is there a difference if you actually do a real nn lease compared to doing a normal lease with the taxes and insurance built into the payment?
Sunday Deal Analysis: 🧵How This Ohio Industrial Owner Cut Valuation by $1M (50%+) with one bad lease and how you can make $1M (23% IRR) in 6 years with no debt.
@deephouselounge Depends on the size of the down payment and or the need from the buyer. If they have a good reason to own it and me carry back a note and mortgage I'll do it.
Buy cheap house with private debt.
Seller finance for more with a 10% or more down payment.
Keep the cash down payment and make a nice cash flow spread.
Rinse and repeat.
You help yourself, your lender, and your customer.

Btw there are many many steps you can do after that.
