Seller Finance and First Lien Investors (Note Buyers)

If you have capital laying around waiting for a deal in DFW market perhaps you should consider opportunities to invest in seller finance and land contracts in other states. It’s not that hard to be “The Bank”, but you need to know the legal frame work of that state.

Recently I came across a tape of contract for deeds in MO and KS with great numbers. I could not find specific information on how these states treat land contracts. Eventually I discovered Kim Tucker and she referred me to Rick Davis Legal. He has vast experience with these instruments. He agreed to share his knowledge via zoom. He charges $250 for all the questions were are covering.
