What would be more painful? Theoretically missing out on some (maybe phantom?) upside? Or losing the equity you have on the table right now? Even if you wait for prices to go higher, and they do, that will mean everything else will cost a lot more, too, so will you really be that much more ahead?
If you don't feel ready to weather a financial storm, are unsure of your W2 job, etc, it could be time to take some profits off the table. Seller financing could make sense as part of your strategy, but holding some cash could also be a smart idea.
Ideally, you'd be diversified out of the dollar into some precious metals and Bitcoin and other crypto blockchain projects.
Real estate sellers, landlords and those who have no equity and just want out from under their payments, this class is for you. Many high equity sellers and tired landlords are de-risking and using the installment sale (IRC 453), seller financing to:
Most sellers who offer owner financing have NO IDEA that anyone would want to buy their note. Their real estate agent or broker doesn't tell them, their title company doesn't tell them, their attorney doesn't tell them, their financial advisor doesn't tell them.
They find out several weeks after the closing when they start getting postcards and letters in the mail offering to buy their note. But by then, the value of their note is baked in. The terms can't be modified to make the note more valuable.
This often costs the seller (who traded real estate for a promissory note) tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Only someone who regularly buys notes for their own portfolio is qualified to help you and your other trusted advisors create a note that is right for you short term and long term.

Jeff brings up a good point here... attorneys, title companies and real estate brokers might know how to walk you through the mechanics of a seller financed real estate transaction, but unless they actively buy mortgage notes for their own portfolio, they don't know how to help you put the deal together in a way that makes it the most valuable... they have NO IDEA what your note would sell for on the secondary note business market.
Loan originators and licensed servicers also can have insight as to specific compliance issues, but first you have to know if seller financing is even for you.
First step: based upon your goals, objectives and unique personal circumstances, I will help you decide if owner financing is for you, if your plan is solid, or will end up costing you thousands. If you might need money sooner than later, we can set you up to sell your note for minimum discount while still helping you keep your own private pension and passive retirement income.
Second step: have an attorney in your state provide boiler plate documents. Then I will review it and make sure the numbers are right, and make sure special clauses and terms are inserted that will give you every advantage.
Third step: double check for compliance with the interest rate you are charging, late fees, and other things that make your note water tight so you'll never find yourself standing in front of a judge, or facing a steep fine.

Abby and I had a great chat catching up, talking about changes in the note investing industry. There are more HELOC notes being traded, as well as TIN loans being accepted. The buying criteria of the various institutional and hedge fund buyers is constantly changing.
We also reference our last conversation 4 years ago and relish that we were spot on with what we were talking about, even though a lot of it seemed fringe and outlandish at the time. Don't forget to diversify into precious metals, especially silver, and accumulate some Bitcoin before the next bull run takes off... and don't leave it on a centralized exchange! You have to take self custody.

This interview was a delight. I love talking to people who have been around a few real cycles who have seen it all. The ability to navigate seller financing and real estate transactions creatively during times of market chaos or uncertainty are the ones who not only survive, but thrive.

In this session of Property & Paper Live, Ken brings up a pending foreclosure. He really wants the property, and is considering bidding at the Trustee Sale. There is a 2nd that is in danger of being completely wiped off. He could offer to buy the 2nd at a discount and foreclose from that position to greatly increase his opening bid and almost guarantee he'd get the property with the opening bid. But then he'd have to start the foreclosure timeline over again. Maybe if he'd thought of that earlier on, it would have been a good option. We also talk with others on the call and end with sharing a way to get help submitting owner financing offers so you can buy your home or investment property without asking a bank for a loan!
Why not ask for zero down? I'm going to quit being so squeamish. My interview with David Olds contains a lot of great gems, and some great reminders of getting back to basics, slowing down, and talking just one Mom 'n Pop to another for success all around.
Tracy Z is a veteran of the note industry and she brings all her years of experience to talk about what she sees happening in the market, and how she helps others learn about the note business and get started investing in notes. We both love partials and wraps! It was fun for me to hear some of her history, as I came to the industry in the mid 90's, and she was a seasoned professional by then. I always wondered what happened to Metropolitan. They dominated back in the day, but had rolled up shop before I was actively participating in the note business. Thanks, Tracy! Great to rub shoulders with like-minded people in this space. I highly recommend anyone new to note investing check out what she has to offer over at http://noteinvestor.com
