Today, we’re going to talk about how to be successful at seller-financed deals. First, one of the most important things is to pre-screen the seller. If you want to be successful at seller-financed deals, you have to discover right away if they are going to be willing to take your proposal. A few simple questions are all you need to know if the seller is motivated or not.

Here are some questions you should ask:
