WHAT IS OWNER FINANCE FSBO? – FOR SALE BY OWNER
What is owner finance FSBO, and how do you do it successfully? FSBO is something that most people think is going to be easy, easier than having a broker sell the property. What they haven’t figured out is what it really takes to sell the property themselves.
Success always leaves a trail. My suggestion is hire the broker and do all the work yourself. Help the broker. Use as many advertising systems as possible.
For example, you can use Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and dozens of electronic websites. You can even find multiple sites for selling real estate, like Redfin, Zillow, Trulia, and the multiple listing service (MLS). I’m sure you’re getting the idea.
Ebay is great, especially if you can write a good ad and use many pictures, outside signs on the lawn and in the neighborhood, particularly if you offer to finance the property.
WHAT IS OWNER FINANCE FSBO? – SELLER FINANCING
So what is owner finance FSBO, and is owner financing good or bad? Owner financing is a good way to sell a property quickly without deeply discounting the price.
Financing makes a difference. Sellers who will take small down payments and installment payments will receive major traffic.
Most owner financing by the seller will earn higher interest than the banks or other institutional lenders.
The key for a seller is a low-price installment sale and flexible down payments. Many buyers struggle with down payments.
My experience has been with selling tax defaulted properties. These are less than pristine properties. Many are used and abused, and some are junk. Don’t waste your time on junk.

WHAT IS OWNER FINANCE FSBO? – SELLING A PROPERTY
What is owner finance FSBO, and how can it benefit you? Is owner financing a good idea for the seller? For starters, sellers who use installment sale contracts will receive more inquiries than those who do not offer installment sale contracts.
Selling is something you can do. Most sellers just call a broker. There is nothing wrong with that. However, if the broker isn’t active and isn’t willing to spend money on media, they may not be successful.
Life is always 80/20. The 80% is average or less, and the 20% are the superstars. While the 80% is sitting at Starbucks, the 20% is knocking on doors.
Why is a broker successful? You must figure that out before you hire the broker.
Selling a property as an owner is okay. There are dozens of media you can utilize to expose your property. Media requires you to spend money, however, media attracts clients, so what if you have to pay the broker?
WHAT IS OWNER FINANCE FSBO? – ADVERTISING A PROPERTY
To sell a property, you can place ads on Craigslist, use the multiple listing service, newspapers, television, and radio.
You can give flyers to people you know and send descriptive flyers to people in the neighborhood. Place ads on massive signs, bandit signs around the neighborhood, and use Zillow, Trulia, Redfin and the broker.
My point is marketing will capture customers. You must capture their names. Don’t wait for the broker to sell the property. You may be disappointed.
If you bought the property for the right price and you expect to sell, you must work at it.
Buyers want a deal. Price is important. Installment sales are important.
WHAT IS OWNER FINANCE FSBO? – LET’S REVIEW
Let’s review. Tax deeds are sold at local government auctions. These are properties that are unwanted. The previous owner walked away and didn’t pay the taxes.
Too much authority is given to outside advisors. You may need help. It’s easy to hire a coach who has sold properties.
Don’t take advice from anyone that hasn’t already acquired a high net worth or hasn’t completed multiple deals.
Ask yourself why you should work for wages of small money all your life when you can acquire this skill and good capital assets that will work for you whether you work or not.
Understand that financing is a good start. You can do this. Thousands before you have followed these steps.
