Streetwise Seller Financing

I've done private financing using seller notes for over 20 years. In this field, knowledge and integrity are of extreme importance. This book provides all the knowledge that any note seller will ever need, and more. We've always known this method of funding can quadruple the inquiries and double the qualified buyers, now the average seller knows how everything works. That's a hundred times better than being at the mercy of the institutional mortgage system as it now exists.

Streetwise Seller Financing

If you are interested in seller financing, this is the book you must have. As a practicing attorney for 30+ years, specializing in real estate, I thought I knew it all but I even learned some things from Mr. Speed's book. He speaks to the issues facing seller financing in a way that is easy to understand and follow with real world solutions. This is a tough area with many dangerous curves but Streetwise Seller Financing addresses each issue providing valuable tips to assist the seller. I found the book to be of more help then many of the legal books due to the fact that Mr. Speed does not give you theory but just important facts on the correct way. I have dealt with many lenders in my years of law practice that could have used this book.

Every seller financer and note holder should read this!

Eddie Speed quotes the seasoned Texas banker who said, "The best time to worry about a loan is before you make it." Then he details how to do so. As a note broker, I can recommend this book to anyone considering seller financing. Whether you plan to collect payments for 30 years or you want to sell your note at some time in the future, this book will help you create a note that is more likely to be an asset you can sell instead of a life time headache. This book is a guide for the creation of the note and a reference for managing it. It even has helpful ideas for what to do when things go wrong during the life of the note. This book proves that good things come in small packages. Every note holder should keep it handy. I plan to.

This info is needed by all with Owner Financing !!

I was thinking of selling my home with Owner Financing. This book answered all of my concerns, and enlightened me on many that I was not even aware that I should be concerned about. I will use owner financing and not be concerned, knowing that I did it right on the front end. This will leave me with many options in the future if my needs were to change. Thanks, Mr. Speed for bringing me up to speed on owner financing.

Sold in 3 days!!

I purchased Streetwise a few weeks ago and have already used Mr. Speed's guidelines to close on a property that I had on the market for 6 weeks! I found the section on avoiding default especially helpful - in my rush to get property sold, I've never given default a second thought. There's a lot to digest in this book and I have a feeling this will be one to refer to again & again. I recommend this book to any real estate investor.
