REI In Your Car 127: Owner Finance Deals, in the MLS, Right under Our Noses

Published: Dec. 22, 2016, 10 a.m.

Sometimes I just like browsing through the MLS to see what\u2019s going on. I did that the other day checking out the St. Louis area. Specifically, I was looking for all of the lease option, FSBO or rent-to-own listings. I came up with over 150 in those categories. And about 75% of those were in good neighborhoods.

\n

When I say good neighborhoods, I mean they were areas in which conventional bank loans were probably not a viable option, but yet they are nice blue-collar areas. Most of these properties looked like they didn\u2019t need much work, if any.

\n

In this episode, I give a number of great ideas for ways to offer creative financing options for these types of homeowners. If they\u2019re offering to lease or rent, that tells me they\u2019re flexible. You can use that to your advantage.

\n

Take these ideas and run with them.
