An example of seller financing: Years ago I bought a rental property, and nine months later sold it for 15% more, without fixing or improving a thing. The easy terms are what sold it. I took $1000 down, and I still get a payment every month, with 9% interest.Four Reasons To Offer Seller Financing 1. To get a higher price. As you can see from the example above, buyers pay for easy terms.
From the buyers perspective, he gets a place for almost nothing, that the renters will pay for. He comes out okay even if he later sold it for less than he bought it for. 2. To get a decent return on your money. The 9% I'm getting is nice, but the true return was much higher, since I also sold the property for 15% more than I paid, and I get 9% on the entire balance.
In fact, for a great return without the headaches of being a landlord, you can simply buy low for cash and sell high with terms. 3. To sell faster. Anytime you expand the potential market for a property, you increase the odds of selling it fast. Selling with easy terms definitely invites more buyers to look at your real estate.
4. To sell difficult properties. If you have a property that is difficult to finance conventionally, offering seller financing may be the only way get it sold, and at a fair price.Of course the ways you can sell are limited by mortgages and other loans. I owned the rental free and clear, which meant I could sell it any way I wanted. There are other ways to use seller financing though, even if you owe on the property.
There are ways to do this safely too. Those topics are for another article..

Tips on Investment Property Financing
If you're looking for a good investment, financing investment property is a good thing to begin with. It can be very expensive to finance investment property but if you do it properly there is a lot of money to be made.
The first thing you need to do before financing an investment property is to go to a bank or a lender and find the appropriate loan for you. There are plenty of loan packages available on the market so you should carefully choose the one appropriate for your investment property financing. The basic type of loans include: basic variable rate loans (charge a low interest rate but offer fewer features and less flexibility); fixed rate loans (lock in your interest rate for one to five years. They are useful if you believe variable interest rates will raise over a specified term), split rate (combination) loans (allow you to fix your loan for a set period of time before reverting to a variable rate) and other types depending on the bank or lender. <...
