THE $929 Billion-Dollar CRE CRISIS—Birthing Opportunity
20 Percent of All Commercial & Multifamily Mortgage Balances Will Mature in 2025
While headlines of CRE financial crisis have been quiet since 2024, overleveraged institutional investors are bracing for the impact of billions in maturing underperforming & non-performing CRE mortgages originated during the pre-COVID asset buying frenzy. (Mortgage Bankers Association)
Liquidity Constraints for Lenders Due to Reallocation of Funds Can Stomp the Breaks on Small CRE Lending
Massive amounts of maturing CRE mortgages require lenders of all types (banks, insurance companies, & private equity firms) to take funds for lending & move them to debt-payoff. Reducing their lending power & causing a tightening of lending requirements for assets & borrowers.
Tighter Lending Requirements Open Opportunities for Individual Investors
With depositories, credit companies & ABSs holding the majority of the maturing debt—their lending power will likely be significantly reduced. Meaning, a sea of properties will no longer qualify for institutional lending. A unique scenario that makes creative financing extremely attractive to motivated property owners.

Frequent Questions
Frequent Questions
Frequent Questions
You Might Be Thinking
1. What makes your seller financing deals different from traditional commercial real estate investments?
Our seller financing arrangements eliminate the need for bank loans, allowing you to acquire properties with significantly less capital upfront. Instead of tying up $400,000 in one property, you could secure four properties with $100,000 down payments each—dramatically expanding your portfolio diversification. These deals bypass traditional extensive lending requirements (for buyers & properties), credit checks, and the lengthy approval processes—all of which often kill viable, profitable commercial deals. Seller financing also avoids being limited by your credit profile & destroying your credit health. For these transactions, the property is the collateral instead of a loan from a bank. What about in the unlikely event that an investor defaults on their obligation to the seller? The property is simply returned to the seller & the buyer forfeits their investment & all improvements made to the property. No detrimental impact to the investor’s credit, & no drawn out, expensive legal action. Simplicity is a refreshing result of seller financing transactions; along with increased profitability and increased return on investment.
2. How do you find these distressed commercial properties that banks won't finance?
We target three types of distressed situations across recession-proof asset classes like self storage, mobile home parks, RV parks, industrial flex spaces, Section 8 multi-family, and senior living facilities: 1. physically distressed properties that don't meet bank lending standards. 2. Financially distressed properties where poor business management has lowered the underlying real estate value. 3. Owner-distressed situations where sellers are motivated due to retirement, fatigue, inheritance, or unwillingness to invest in necessary improvements. We locate these opportunities through targeted PPC campaigns, SEO content marketing, strategic cold calling, partner networks, and social media content marketing. By making direct contact with the seller, we’re able to find properties that would not have been available otherwise. As an avid investor, I’m sure you know that the best deals are virtually always off-market or pocket deals.
3. Why would property owners agree to seller financing instead of traditional sales?
Seller financing offers significant advantages to older property owners, especially those nearing retirement. They receive consistent monthly income without the volatility of stock markets or other investments, enjoy substantial tax benefits by spreading capital gains over time, and avoid the hassle and time-intensive process of working with a CRE real estate agent to go through the listing preparation process (which might require the owner to invest additional capital to repair &/or upgrade the property), then go through the lengthy process of finding qualified buyers who can secure traditional financing (which, like stated earlier, would likely take much longer than normal due to the intense financial turmoil depositories are currently in). For many sellers, this creates a win-win scenario where they get steady income while we acquire properties with favorable terms. There’s also the most common situation where the condition of the seller’s property is too rough to qualify for traditional bank lending (or the business on the property not having enough financial health to qualify for bank lending). These two scenarios will become more prevalent over the next few months & years due to the $929 billion-dollar CRE mortgage crisis that will force lenders to tighten their lending standards due to restricted funds.
4. What kind of due diligence do you perform before presenting properties to your network?
Our due diligence process is exhaustive and includes property condition assessments (using a boots-on-the-ground strategy), financial performance analysis, market comparables research, title searches, environmental reviews, and detailed seller interviews. We validate all income and expense statements with forensic accounting. This comprehensive approach ensures our network members receive accurate, investment-grade information so they can make purchase decisions swiftly & with the utmost of confidence.
5. How much capital do I typically need to secure a seller-financed commercial property?
Down payments typically range from 10-30% of the purchase price, significantly lower than traditional commercial loans requiring 25-35% plus extensive fees. This means you can control a $500,000 property with as little as $50,000-$180,000 down, preserving capital for additional investments or property improvements. The exact amount depends on the specific deal structure and seller motivation. The monthly payments of a seller finance agreement are also extremely flexible, depending on the seller’s motivations & goals. Like fine tuning a v12 engine, we can make adjustments to each element until all parties are sufficiently satisfied & the business relationship will run smoothly—powerfully accelerating the buyer & seller towards their financial & investment goals.
6. Will seller financing affect my personal or business credit?
No, seller financing arrangements typically don't impact your credit scores since they're private agreements between you and the seller, not institutional lenders. This means you can be far more active in acquiring properties without worrying about debt-to-income ratios or credit utilization that would limit your borrowing capacity with traditional banks. You can literally acquire multiple properties simultaneously without credit constraints. Now, obviously as the investor, you will have to share pertinent financial information to the seller to prove your lending worthiness. However, that process is far less invasive & impactful than what a traditional bank would require.
7. What types of commercial properties do you typically offer?
We specialize in recession-proof property types that provide stable cash flow regardless of economic conditions: Industrial Flex Spaces, Business Parks, Self Storage, Section 8 Multi-Family, Senior Living Facilities, Mobile Home Parks, and RV Parks. These asset classes have proven resilient during economic downturns because they fulfill essential needs. We focus on two categories: properties with existing cash flow that have significant room for improvement through repairs, improved management or value-add enhancements, and fully stabilized properties that require minimal work, less capital, and present lower risk profiles for more conservative investors.
8. How do you determine the value-add potential of a property?
We hire local real estate professionals to conduct thorough property assessments of our recession-proof asset classes, identifying needed repairs, potential improvements, and value-enhancement opportunities specific to each property type. For self storage facilities, this might involve adding climate control or security systems. For mobile home parks and RV parks, we look at infrastructure improvements, adding pads and additional amenities. In Section 8 multi-family properties, we focus on unit improvements and operational efficiencies. We also analyze existing business operations for inefficiencies, accounting errors, or missed revenue opportunities. Some of these repairs & error corrections are completed before presenting the property to our investors to ensure higher equity & more sustainable income (for example, if we were not to fix certain accounting errors in the business operations, it could prove detrimental down the line).
9. What happens if multiple investors in your network want the same property?
When multiple qualified investors express interest, we facilitate a structured bidding process where investors present their best offers. We relay these offers to the seller until one is selected based on terms, timeline, and overall package strength. Properties are not presented to the entire membership network, but are only presented to investors who have a buying criteria that matches the property’s specifications. This increases the exclusivity of each deal, allowing only investors who have experience in the asset class or situation to bid for ownership. Our reasoning behind this system? To ensure the highest Return on Investment for our investors because they have expertise with that particular property type & thus have a higher probability of maintaining it’s profitability over time, while also not wasting the investor’s, the seller’s, or our own precious time with properties that aren’t a good fit or that the investor simply doesn’t fully understand. There is also a limited bidding window for every property. So, once that window is closed, the seller will select the winning investor, confirm the terms, then complete the sales process. This ensures a fair and concise bidding process for our investors, ourselves, & our sellers.
10. How exclusive is your investor network, and how do I join?
Our network is intentionally exclusive to maintain deal quality and ensure serious investors have access to the best opportunities. Membership requires meeting specific investment criteria, demonstrating financial capacity, completing our investor qualification process, as well as a phone interview to make direct human-to-human contact. There is also a yearly membership investment; the exact amount is only discussed after submitting initial information to ensure it will be a good fit financially, first. Rest assured that our membership has been strategically priced to ensure a substantial Return on Investment with your first successfully completed acquisition. This exclusivity ensures deals move quickly and that members aren't competing against unqualified buyers who can't close—a keystone of our high-performance machine.
12. Do you handle the transaction process, or do I need my own team?
We manage the entire transaction process from contract negotiation through closing, working with qualified title companies to ensure smooth transfers. However, we always recommend investors have their own attorney review agreements and their own accountant structure the investment optimally for their specific tax situation & investment goals. We facilitate the process but believe investors should have a complete team for independent professional guidance. Just be sure to hire professionals that understand the investment & financing strategies you’re using, as not all real estate professionals are aware or well versed in these alternative tactics. Another tip; hire the best professionals you can possibly afford. Do not try to save money here because, if they’re truly skilled, they will save & make you massive amounts of money throughout your relationship.
13. What if the property needs significant repairs or improvements?
Properties requiring physical improvements often present the greatest opportunities for value creation & substantial return on investment. We identify these needs during due diligence and factor repair costs into our investment analysis. Many of our network investors specialize in value-add opportunities and have established contractor relationships to execute improvements efficiently and cost-effectively. As a firm, Buy Commercial Real Estate Florida has our own buying criteria which guides our investment decisions, one that involve foundational non-negotiables which significantly improve the viability & long-term profitability of the properties we offer. Oftentimes, properties that have significant upside can provide a return on investment in a much shorter timeframe than more stabilized properties with less upside potential. With more stabilized properties you’re on a set timeframe to receive your Return on Investment, i.e. monthly payments. However, with value-add properties, you can make improvements & stabilize which will increase the overall value—allowing you to have massive equity in a short amount of time. This is how elite investors think & move. Like the Warren Buffet saying goes, “be fearful when others are greedy & be greedy when others are fearful.” Traditional, indoctrinated investors will shy away from (& avoid completely) properties that need repairs & improvements (ugly properties). That is why their portfolios take an extremely long time to grow to the point where they’re throwing off significant income & to the point where they have significant equity. With the ugly-to-pretty strategy our investors leverage, they can generate substantial income & equity with just a single property. Both of which they use to purchase additional properties more quickly.
14. How do you verify the financial information provided by sellers?
With commercial real estate being “Buyer Beware,” we conduct thorough financial verification including reviewing tax returns, profit and loss statements, rent rolls, expense records, and bank statements. This includes forensic accounting to ensure the validity of all data given to us. We also perform market analysis to validate reported income and expenses against comparable properties. Our team includes professionals experienced in financial analysis who can identify discrepancies or opportunities that others firms might have missed completely.
15. What markets in Florida do you cover?
We operate throughout Florida, focusing on markets where commercial real estate fundamentals are strong and where our network has established relationships. Currently we’re focusing on; Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Jacksonville, among others. Our geographic diversity allows investors to diversify across multiple markets while taking advantage of Florida's favorable business climate, population growth, and tourism economy. This includes being, “in the path of progress,” to increase long-term viability & profitability of our chosen investment properties.
16. How quickly can I close on a seller-financed deal?
Since seller financing eliminates bank approval processes, qualified investors can often close in 30-45 days or less, compared to 60-90+ days for traditional commercial loans. The exact timeline depends on due diligence complexity, title issues, and negotiation timeframes, but the speed advantage is substantial and often crucial in competitive situations. The extreme benefit of not having the third party (a bank) involved means more streamlined communication & negotiations with far less interference from the bank prioritizing their own agenda.
17. What ongoing support do you provide after I purchase a property?
As a member, you’re able to access asset-specific guidance, post-purchase through multiple channels we offer. If you’re not sure how to maximize your newly acquired property & want to ensure well-above average returns—you’re able to hire us for Asset Leveraging Consulting. While we don't provide property management services, we maintain relationships with our network members and can connect you with qualified local professionals for property management, construction, accounting, and other services you might need. Our goal is your long-term success, which benefits our entire network through referrals and repeat business.
18. Can I partner with other investors in your network on larger deals?
At Buy Commercial Real Estate Florida, we leverage our One-to-One Strategy—one investor to one property, for simplicity and speed of deal completion. This streamlines the entire process for all parties involved. The more investors involved, the longer the timeframe to closing and the more complicated each and every aspect of the deal becomes. We’ve also found that it’s highly beneficial in the long-term as well; allowing investors to off-load or improve a property at will instead of needing to go through the process of getting the approval of multiple investors. Agility & control are two extremely important factors when building a generational commercial real estate portfolio and with our One-to-One Strategy, our investors to enjoy both of these crucial elements. As an investor, you’re portfolio will grow much faster & with more stability by adding a single property at a time that matches your financial wherewithal, then scaling up the size & scope of the property as you grow your financial foundation.
19. What are the tax advantages of seller-financed commercial real estate?
Seller financing offers numerous tax benefits including installment sale treatment (irc §453), interest income is taxed as ordinary income, avoids depreciation recapture all at once, helps avoid the 3.8% net investment income tax (NIIT), potential estate planning benefits, interest expense deductions, and the ability to defer capital gains through 1031 exchanges. ▶︎ Here’s a Concrete Use Case —> A seller (age 65) owns a $2.5M commercial retail building, fully depreciated (low basis). Instead of selling to a REIT or investor all-cash (and triggering a $1.5M capital gain and $500k+ tax), they agree to a $500k down payment + $2M seller-financed note at 6% over 10 years. 💎 Benefits —> 1) Only taxed each year on the portion of principal and interest collected. 2) Taxed on ~$200k/year instead of $1.5M lump sum. 3) Interest income provides reliable cash flow. 4) Keeps seller in a lower bracket and avoids NIIT for multiple years. ◀︎ Since you're not dealing with traditional lenders, you have more flexibility in structuring deals to optimize tax efficiency. We recommend consulting with tax professionals to maximize these advantages for your specific situation.
20. How do I get started and gain access to your current deal pipeline?
The first step is completing our investor qualification process to ensure our opportunities align with your investment criteria and financial capacity. Then, we’ll schedule your phone interview to finalize the application process. Once approved for membership, we’ll securely process your yearly membership payment then schedule your white-glove on-boarding with your assigned Private Client Account Executive. who will patiently guide you through your account establishment.

Like fine tuning a v12 engine, we can make adjustments to each element until all parties are sufficiently satisfied & the business relationship will run smoothly—powerfully accelerating the buyer & seller towards their financial & investment goals.
6. Will seller financing affect my personal or business credit?
No, seller financing arrangements typically don't impact your credit scores since they're private agreements between you and the seller, not institutional lenders. This means you can be far more active in acquiring properties without worrying about debt-to-income ratios or credit utilization that would limit your borrowing capacity with traditional banks. You can literally acquire multiple properties simultaneously without credit constraints. Now, obviously as the investor, you will have to share pertinent financial information to the seller to prove your lending worthiness. However, that process is far less invasive & impactful than what a traditional bank would require.
7. What types of commercial properties do you typically offer?
We specialize in recession-proof property types that provide stable cash flow regardless of economic conditions: Industrial Flex Spaces, Business Parks, Self Storage, Section 8 Multi-Family, Senior Living Facilities, Mobile Home Parks, and RV Parks. These asset classes have proven resilient during economic downturns because they fulfill essential needs. We focus on two categories: properties with existing cash flow that have significant room for improvement through repairs, improved management or value-add enhancements, and fully stabilized properties that require minimal work, less capital, and present lower risk profiles for more conservative investors.
8. How do you determine the value-add potential of a property?
We hire local real estate professionals to conduct thorough property assessments of our recession-proof asset classes, identifying needed repairs, potential improvements, and value-enhancement opportunities specific to each property type. For self storage facilities, this might involve adding climate control or security systems. For mobile home parks and RV parks, we look at infrastructure improvements, adding pads and additional amenities. In Section 8 multi-family properties, we focus on unit improvements and operational efficiencies. We also analyze existing business operations for inefficiencies, accounting errors, or missed revenue opportunities. Some of these repairs & error corrections are completed before presenting the property to our investors to ensure higher equity & more sustainable income (for example, if we were not to fix certain accounting errors in the business operations, it could prove detrimental down the line).
9. What happens if multiple investors in your network want the same property?
When multiple qualified investors express interest, we facilitate a structured bidding process where investors present their best offers. We relay these offers to the seller until one is selected based on terms, timeline, and overall package strength. Properties are not presented to the entire membership network, but are only presented to investors who have a buying criteria that matches the property’s specifications. This increases the exclusivity of each deal, allowing only investors who have experience in the asset class or situation to bid for ownership. Our reasoning behind this system? To ensure the highest Return on Investment for our investors because they have expertise with that particular property type & thus have a higher probability of maintaining it’s profitability over time, while also not wasting the investor’s, the seller’s, or our own precious time with properties that aren’t a good fit or that the investor simply doesn’t fully understand. There is also a limited bidding window for every property. So, once that window is closed, the seller will select the winning investor, confirm the terms, then complete the sales process. This ensures a fair and concise bidding process for our investors, ourselves, & our sellers.
10. How exclusive is your investor network, and how do I join?
Our network is intentionally exclusive to maintain deal quality and ensure serious investors have access to the best opportunities. Membership requires meeting specific investment criteria, demonstrating financial capacity, completing our investor qualification process, as well as a phone interview to make direct human-to-human contact. There is also a yearly membership investment; the exact amount is only discussed after submitting initial information to ensure it will be a good fit financially, first. Rest assured that our membership has been strategically priced to ensure a substantial Return on Investment with your first successfully completed acquisition. This exclusivity ensures deals move quickly and that members aren't competing against unqualified buyers who can't close—a keystone of our high-performance machine.
12. Do you handle the transaction process, or do I need my own team?
We manage the entire transaction process from contract negotiation through closing, working with qualified title companies to ensure smooth transfers. However, we always recommend investors have their own attorney review agreements and their own accountant structure the investment optimally for their specific tax situation & investment goals. We facilitate the process but believe investors should have a complete team for independent professional guidance. Just be sure to hire professionals that understand the investment & financing strategies you’re using, as not all real estate professionals are aware or well versed in these alternative tactics. Another tip; hire the best professionals you can possibly afford. Do not try to save money here because, if they’re truly skilled, they will save & make you massive amounts of money throughout your relationship.
13. What if the property needs significant repairs or improvements?
Properties requiring physical improvements often present the greatest opportunities for value creation & substantial return on investment. We identify these needs during due diligence and factor repair costs into our investment analysis. Many of our network investors specialize in value-add opportunities and have established contractor relationships to execute improvements efficiently and cost-effectively. As a firm, Buy Commercial Real Estate Florida has our own buying criteria which guides our investment decisions, one that involve foundational non-negotiables which significantly improve the viability & long-term profitability of the properties we offer. Oftentimes, properties that have significant upside can provide a return on investment in a much shorter timeframe than more stabilized properties with less upside potential. With more stabilized properties you’re on a set timeframe to receive your Return on Investment, i.e. monthly payments. However, with value-add properties, you can make improvements & stabilize which will increase the overall value—allowing you to have massive equity in a short amount of time. This is how elite investors think & move. Like the Warren Buffet saying goes, “be fearful when others are greedy & be greedy when others are fearful.” Traditional, indoctrinated investors will shy away from (& avoid completely) properties that need repairs & improvements (ugly properties). That is why their portfolios take an extremely long time to grow to the point where they’re throwing off significant income & to the point where they have significant equity. With the ugly-to-pretty strategy our investors leverage, they can generate substantial income & equity with just a single property. Both of which they use to purchase additional properties more quickly.
14. How do you verify the financial information provided by sellers?
With commercial real estate being “Buyer Beware,” we conduct thorough financial verification including reviewing tax returns, profit and loss statements, rent rolls, expense records, and bank statements. This includes forensic accounting to ensure the validity of all data given to us. We also perform market analysis to validate reported income and expenses against comparable properties. Our team includes professionals experienced in financial analysis who can identify discrepancies or opportunities that others firms might have missed completely.
15. What markets in Florida do you cover?
We operate throughout Florida, focusing on markets where commercial real estate fundamentals are strong and where our network has established relationships. Currently we’re focusing on; Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Jacksonville, among others. Our geographic diversity allows investors to diversify across multiple markets while taking advantage of Florida's favorable business climate, population growth, and tourism economy. This includes being, “in the path of progress,” to increase long-term viability & profitability of our chosen investment properties.
16. How quickly can I close on a seller-financed deal?
Since seller financing eliminates bank approval processes, qualified investors can often close in 30-45 days or less, compared to 60-90+ days for traditional commercial loans. The exact timeline depends on due diligence complexity, title issues, and negotiation timeframes, but the speed advantage is substantial and often crucial in competitive situations. The extreme benefit of not having the third party (a bank) involved means more streamlined communication & negotiations with far less interference from the bank prioritizing their own agenda.
17. What ongoing support do you provide after I purchase a property?
As a member, you’re able to access asset-specific guidance, post-purchase through multiple channels we offer. If you’re not sure how to maximize your newly acquired property & want to ensure well-above average returns—you’re able to hire us for Asset Leveraging Consulting. While we don't provide property management services, we maintain relationships with our network members and can connect you with qualified local professionals for property management, construction, accounting, and other services you might need. Our goal is your long-term success, which benefits our entire network through referrals and repeat business.
18. Can I partner with other investors in your network on larger deals?
At Buy Commercial Real Estate Florida, we leverage our One-to-One Strategy—one investor to one property, for simplicity and speed of deal completion. This streamlines the entire process for all parties involved. The more investors involved, the longer the timeframe to closing and the more complicated each and every aspect of the deal becomes. We’ve also found that it’s highly beneficial in the long-term as well; allowing investors to off-load or improve a property at will instead of needing to go through the process of getting the approval of multiple investors. Agility & control are two extremely important factors when building a generational commercial real estate portfolio and with our One-to-One Strategy, our investors to enjoy both of these crucial elements. As an investor, you’re portfolio will grow much faster & with more stability by adding a single property at a time that matches your financial wherewithal, then scaling up the size & scope of the property as you grow your financial foundation.
19. What are the tax advantages of seller-financed commercial real estate?
Seller financing offers numerous tax benefits including installment sale treatment (irc §453), interest income is taxed as ordinary income, avoids depreciation recapture all at once, helps avoid the 3.8% net investment income tax (NIIT), potential estate planning benefits, interest expense deductions, and the ability to defer capital gains through 1031 exchanges. ▶︎ Here’s a Concrete Use Case —> A seller (age 65) owns a $2.5M commercial retail building, fully depreciated (low basis). Instead of selling to a REIT or investor all-cash (and triggering a $1.5M capital gain and $500k+ tax), they agree to a $500k down payment + $2M seller-financed note at 6% over 10 years. 💎 Benefits —> 1) Only taxed each year on the portion of principal and interest collected. 2) Taxed on ~$200k/year instead of $1.5M lump sum. 3) Interest income provides reliable cash flow. 4) Keeps seller in a lower bracket and avoids NIIT for multiple years. ◀︎ Since you're not dealing with traditional lenders, you have more flexibility in structuring deals to optimize tax efficiency. We recommend consulting with tax professionals to maximize these advantages for your specific situation.
20. How do I get started and gain access to your current deal pipeline?
The first step is completing our investor qualification process to ensure our opportunities align with your investment criteria and financial capacity. Then, we’ll schedule your phone interview to finalize the application process. Once approved for membership, we’ll securely process your yearly membership payment then schedule your white-glove on-boarding with your assigned Private Client Account Executive. who will patiently guide you through your account establishment. If you’ve read this far into our website, it’s safe to say that this is an opportunity you’re interested in and could benefit greatly from. So, go ahead, fill out your information below & we’ll email you the link to our Private Investor Membership Application to begin the qualification process. We believe in diving timing here at Buy Commercial Real Estate Florida, and as the saying goes, “when the student is ready, the teacher appears.” Our version is, “when the investor is ready, the opportunity will appear.” So, yeah, you are ready. You’re ready to throw the steering wheel into a new direction, stomp the gas in the fast lane of commercial real estate & start building your generational, recession-resistant, cash-flowing commercial real estate portfolio.
1. What makes your seller financing deals different from traditional commercial real estate investments?
Our seller financing arrangements eliminate the need for bank loans, allowing you to acquire properties with significantly less capital upfront. Instead of tying up $400,000 in one property, you could secure four properties with $100,000 down payments each—dramatically expanding your portfolio diversification. These deals bypass traditional extensive lending requirements (for buyers & properties), credit checks, and the lengthy approval processes—all of which often kill viable, profitable commercial deals. Seller financing also avoids being limited by your credit profile & destroying your credit health. For these transactions, the property is the collateral instead of a loan from a bank. What about in the unlikely event that an investor defaults on their obligation to the seller? The property is simply returned to the seller & the buyer forfeits their investment & all improvements made to the property. No detrimental impact to the investor’s credit, & no drawn out, expensive legal action. Simplicity is a refreshing result of seller financing transactions; along with increased profitability and increased return on investment.
2. How do you find these distressed commercial properties that banks won't finance?
We target three types of distressed situations across recession-proof asset classes like self storage, mobile home parks, RV parks, industrial flex spaces, Section 8 multi-family, and senior living facilities: 1. physically distressed properties that don't meet bank lending standards. 2. Financially distressed properties where poor business management has lowered the underlying real estate value. 3. Owner-distressed situations where sellers are motivated due to retirement, fatigue, inheritance, or unwillingness to invest in necessary improvements. We locate these opportunities through targeted PPC campaigns, SEO content marketing, strategic cold calling, partner networks, and social media content marketing. By making direct contact with the seller, we’re able to find properties that would not have been available otherwise. As an avid investor, I’m sure you know that the best deals are virtually always off-market or pocket deals.
3. Why would property owners agree to seller financing instead of traditional sales?
Seller financing offers significant advantages to older property owners, especially those nearing retirement. They receive consistent monthly income without the volatility of stock markets or other investments, enjoy substantial tax benefits by spreading capital gains over time, and avoid the hassle and time-intensive process of working with a CRE real estate agent to go through the listing preparation process (which might require the owner to invest additional capital to repair &/or upgrade the property), then go through the lengthy process of finding qualified buyers who can secure traditional financing (which, like stated earlier, would likely take much longer than normal due to the intense financial turmoil depositories are currently in). For many sellers, this creates a win-win scenario where they get steady income while we acquire properties with favorable terms. There’s also the most common situation where the condition of the seller’s property is too rough to qualify for traditional bank lending (or the business on the property not having enough financial health to qualify for bank lending). These two scenarios will become more prevalent over the next few months & years due to the $929 billion-dollar CRE mortgage crisis that will force lenders to tighten their lending standards due to restricted funds.
4. What kind of due diligence do you perform before presenting properties to your network?
Our due diligence process is exhaustive and includes property condition assessments (using a boots-on-the-ground strategy), financial performance analysis, market comparables research, title searches, environmental reviews, and detailed seller interviews. We validate all income and expense statements with forensic accounting. This comprehensive approach ensures our network members receive accurate, investment-grade information so they can make purchase decisions swiftly & with the utmost of confidence.
5. How much capital do I typically need to secure a seller-financed commercial property?
Down payments typically range from 10-30% of the purchase price, significantly lower than traditional commercial loans requiring 25-35% plus extensive fees. This means you can control a $500,000 property with as little as $50,000-$180,000 down, preserving capital for additional investments or property improvements. The exact amount depends on the specific deal structure and seller motivation. The monthly payments of a seller finance agreement are also extremely flexible, depending on the seller’s motivations & goals. Like fine tuning a v12 engine, we can make adjustments to each element until all parties are sufficiently satisfied & the business relationship will run smoothly—powerfully accelerating the buyer & seller towards their financial & investment goals.
