This individual may simply be looking for an income stream. How long has this property been for sale....three years? It sounds like he may be ready to negotiate. He came to YOU and he is only offering a $10k discount.

I would definately look into owner financing.

Hi Ana!

Welcome to forums!

You can definitely look out for the option of owner financing. But if you go for an owner financing, you as well as the owner of the property should sign an agreement wherein the terms and conditions will be clearly written. This will help you in the long run. To know more about owner financing, check out the following link:

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
