Seller financing in real estate can turn a $1,200 a month rental into an $1,800 a month deal where the buyer covers taxes, insurance, and repairs. Austin Hancock has converted more than 40 Oklahoma properties to this model, and he explains exactly how seller financing works, from structuring a contract for deed to setting up a lease option with rates between 10 and 12%. He also covers what happens when a buyer wants out early, why he offers cash for keys instead of foreclosure, and the legal mistake that gets investors sued.
