BIGGERPOCKETS
About this episode

Don’t have the capital OR credit to invest? Seller financing is a powerful tool that could allow you to score multiple real estate deals without ever going through a bank. The best part? You can create your own terms! You just need to put together an effective pitch that wins the seller over. Today, we’ll show you how!

Welcome to another Rookie Reply! In addition to seller financing, Ashley and Tony cover several CRUCIAL real estate topics in this episode—from critical first steps to take before investing to closing costs—who pays for what? Does paying cash make a difference? Stick around to find out! Off the back of their new book, Real Estate Partnerships, they also tackle a couple of partnership-related questions—when it makes sense to get a partner and how to structure an agreement where both sides are compensated!

If you want Ashley and Tony to answer a real estate question, you can submit a question here, post in the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group, or call us at the Rookie Request Line (1-888-5-ROOKIE).
