Owner Financing Real Estate Explained! Case Study: How we Owner Financed an Out of State Property

Today we are going to discuss how to maximize your profit on a property. If you are like a lot of real estate investors out there and don't have a lot of deal flow currently, you need to maximize what you can on each property.  

I am going to discuss how to maximize your profits using seller (owner) financing as opposed to just doing a regular old straight cash wholesale deal.  Let's review and break down a property in Texas that we purchased.  It is a double-wide property on 5 acres.

We purchased for $40,000 and could resell it (wholesale) for $55,000. A real estate investor is either going to keep it as a rental or do a Fix and Flip with the property.  After closing costs our net profit would be $12,500. 

However we want to maximize our profits and on this property and what we decide to do is sell this with owner financing. Texas is a great state to sell houses with owner financing.  Texas is a great state to just be a landlord or a mortgage holder. 

We sold for $89,000.  We collected $9,000 down which creates a note for $81,000. We will hold this note for a couple of months (collect the monthly payments). It's $600 for principal and interest each month.  We collect an extra $1,200 in monthly payments. Then we are selling the note at 80% of the value, which is $64,800.

You add $64,800, plus the $1,200, plus the down payment of $9,000, and the total is $65,000.  Now a realtor brought us a buyer so we have some commissions to pay plus closing costs.   That will decrease our total number to $70,000.   

That puts our net profit at $30,000.  Which is 2.4 times higher than it we wholesaled the property for a cash offer. 

Instead of making $12,500, we are making $30,000 net profit.   

If you don't have a big deal flow currently and you want to maximize profits, this is an out of the box way of maximizing profits. This is definitely a great method to utilize to increase your profits on each deal.  I'd much rather have $30,000 vs. $12,500.  Hopefully this is something you can utilize in your business.
