In a two-step real estate deal with seller financing, the agent gets paid at the first closing, but the second transaction can still fall through after money changes hands. The speaker requires documentation signed upfront to protect against that risk. Lower credit scores mean higher interest rates.

Questions this video answers

Yes — they should get paid on the first transaction.

The lower the credit score, the higher the interest rate.

Um, yes. The lower the credit score, the higher the interest rate. Does the agent get paid at transaction one closing? Yes, they should get paid on the first transaction. Can things go wrong in the second transaction, after the first transaction is closed? Man, I love the questions today. It's awesome. Yes. Everything I do, I really frame it as two separate transactions. What if the seller backs out of the second transaction and they no longer agree to do the seller financing portion, but you've now funded 100% of it, and 100% of the funds are in the first transaction. I have heard of a situation where the second transaction didn't close. And the mistake they made is they didn't have any of this documentation signed, and then the funds got. The funds got held. I have all this documentation signed up front.
