People are always asking me for resources to learn Seller Financing. I think someday I need to write my own book! In the meantime, I wanted to put together some recommended books by other authors. (Please note: there are many affiliate links on this page).
Here they are, in no particular order:
#1
“Now, you can. Discover the best-kept secrets of the two creative, effective financing strategies other investors don’t want you to know about: Master Lease Options and Seller Financing.

“This book will show you how to buy and sell properties with zero cash or credit and take chunks of cash every time you close a deal. It will also show you how to buy and HOLD properties using the same techniques…It will show you how to build a huge portfolio of property in a very short period of time. You will make money every time you buy a new ‘no down payment’ property and you will build your passive monthly cash flow with every property you buy.”
