Seller Financing explained
Seller financing is when the seller acts like the lender and allows the buyer to pay over time instead of bringing all cash at closing. In a wholesale operation, the term matters because it connects the seller conversation to a real next step instead of leaving the team with vague notes.
It can unlock deals where the seller wants income, the buyer wants flexible terms, or the property does not fit a conventional loan path. VA Horizon cares about this because callers, lead managers, and acquisitions teams all need the same language inside the CRM. When the term is tagged correctly, follow-up becomes cleaner, handoffs improve, and the operator can see whether the lead is worth more time.
Terms, disclosures, servicing, default rights, and due-on-sale issues should be reviewed by qualified professionals.
Example
A free-and-clear landlord sells a rental for a down payment plus monthly payments over five years, creating income without managing the property.
