The Creative Exit Toolbox: Tools for Savvy Sellers
When traditional bank deals fail, you can use creative financing to bypass strict underwriting and high interest rates. These tools let you act as the lender, secure a higher sales price and a steady stream of monthly income, and offload property management for good.
Three Tools in the Toolbox
The Wrap (wraparound mortgage): You sell on a new note that "wraps" your existing mortgage so you keep the interest-rate spread. The balloon note: The buyer makes monthly payments for a set term (e.g. 3–10 years), then pays the full remaining balance in one lump sum. Lease option (rent-to-own): The buyer rents with a legal right to buy later — you get strong rent today and a locked-in sale.
The Strategic Advantage
These tools help you get full price and passive income while maximizing flexibility. You transition from landlord to lender: collect monthly checks without the "three Ts" — tenants, toilets, and trash. We can discuss which structure fits your property and goals.
