How Do We Buy

Cash Offer

What is a cash offer?

A cash offer on your property means that we will propose to purchase your home without relying on a mortgage or financing

Benefits of Cash Offers?

Fast transaction

Faster closing process with less paperwork and underwriting

Higher chance

Increased certainty of the deal closing successfully

Reduced fees

Reduced closing costs for the seller

The main trade-off is that the pool of cash buyers may be more limited compared to buyers seeking financing.

But for sellers who prioritize speed, certainty, and cost savings, a cash sale can be an attractive option for multi-family property transactions.

Seller Financing

What is Seller Finance?

seller financing for multi-family properties involves the seller providing some or all of the financing for the buyer's purchase.

Benefits of Seller Financing?

Higher Sale Price

Seller financing often allows you to command a higher sale price compared to a traditional all-cash sale. Due to the banks high interest rate, many buyers will not be able to offer full price offer, however, with seller finanace terms, you will be able to receive over value price.

Faster Sale

Properties sold with seller financing terms tend to sell faster than those requiring all-cash or bank financing. Buyers who need the seller financing are highly motivated to close the deal quickly, reducing your time on the market.

Steady Income Stream

With seller financing, you'll receive a steady stream of monthly payments from the buyer over the loan term. This provides you with a reliable income source, which can be beneficial for retirement planning or reinvesting in new properties.

Receive a higher purchase price down the road

After the end of the loan terms, you will generate much higher purchase price then what signed on paper due to the monthly interest received

Maintain Ownership Interest

When you offer seller financing, you maintain some level of ownership interest in the property until the loan is fully repaid. This can give you more control over the asset and how it's managed during the financing period.

Potential for Capital Gains Tax Deferral

Structuring the sale as a seller-financed transaction may allow you to defer capital gains taxes on the sale. This can be a significant financial benefit, especially for high-value multi-family properties.

This arrangement allows buyers to secure financing directly from the seller, often making the process more flexible.

How does it work?

The seller and buyer agree on the sale price of the property.

Down Payment

The buyer makes an upfront payment, usually between 5% and 30% of the purchase price.

Seller’s Security

Terms of the Loan

Sub to

What is Sub To ?

Sub-to financing allows the buyer to simply take over the seller's existing mortgage, rather than needing to obtain a new loan. This streamlined approach can make the transaction more attractive for both parties.

Higher Sale Price

Potential for a higher sale price as buyers are willing to pay a premium

Continuing Current Loan
