586: How To Become the Bank On Cheap Houses

from The DealMachine Real Estate Investing Podcast · host Philip Louden

Philip Louden calls it becoming the bank: you buy a cheap livable house in a small market, then resell it on seller financing to a family that wants to own instead of rent. He explains why this arbitrage works, how he finds and structures these deals, and where the financing comes from when you do not have cash. If you have been chasing assignment fees and want something that pays you every month, this is the model to study.
