In this episode, Chris Prefontaine dives into the practical steps and mindset shifts required to approach property owners for owner financing deals. He explains how to introduce the concept to sellers who might not be familiar with it, particularly those with free-and-clear properties. 🏘️

Using a simple analogy, Chris makes it easy for sellers to understand the role they’ll play—essentially becoming the bank and receiving monthly payments while enjoying significant tax and planning benefits. This method, which predates traditional banking, offers a secure and straightforward path to achieving their goals while helping you secure a deal with no banks involved.

If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate these creative conversations and get a “yes” from a skeptical seller, this episode is packed with practical insights! 🚀

In this episode, Chris Prefontaine breaks down the art of buying small multifamily properties—completely bypassing banks and going directly to the seller. 💬 

He shares strategies for structuring deals with no money down, no interest, and principal-only payments, making real estate accessible for active-duty military members and veterans leveraging their VA loans. 🎖️

Chris explains why sellers often choose owner financing, revealing real-world examples where solving a seller’s problem or meeting their unique goals led to mutually beneficial deals. From inheritance challenges to estate planning advantages, this approach creates opportunities that traditional financing simply can’t.

This is a must-watch for anyone ready to think outside the bank and take control of their financial future. 🌟
