You'll carry a note but you need more cash...
You need more money than the buyer has for a
down payment, but you don't want to take a big discount
You want to defer capital gains...
Your goal is to maximize your income for retirement and you’re passionate about leaving behind a great inheritance. The idea of writing the IRS a massive check makes you sick to your stomach!
You don’t know enough about owner-financed transactions to comfortably move forward...
You’ve learned just enough to know that a critical mistake could blindside you down the road. You wonder if this will work even if you still have a mortgage… (short answer is: yes!)
You’re not getting the right support...

You can see the writing on the wall…
Federal moratoriums on eviction and foreclosure, skyrocketing property taxes and insurance, and the creeping sprawl of rent control. In fact, sometimes it almost seems as if there’s an all out war on personal property rights, so you figure now’s a good time to roll out of real estate holdings and reposition.
