Sell Now Without Taking All the Money Up Front
If you need to exit the property but not all proceeds immediately, seller financing creates flexibility.
Some sellers need speed and certainty but still want long-term income. Seller financing can combine upfront down payment cash with ongoing monthly payments.
Why Sellers Choose This
- Immediate down payment can solve short-term liquidity needs.
- Remaining equity becomes scheduled monthly cash flow.
- Term structure can align with retirement, relocation, or life-change timing.
- You avoid depending entirely on one closing-day payout decision.
How to Structure It
- 1Identify the minimum cash needed at closing for your situation.
- 2Set payment goals for monthly income after closing.
- 3Choose payoff design: balloon timeline or no-balloon full amortization.
- 4Finalize custom terms and close on your required schedule.
