Are Seller Notes Part Of The Down payment
Ricardo asks some great questions about seller financing….
But part of his assumption is not correct.
It’s a mistake I’ve seen a lot of people make.
So, this week we’re going to address whether or not a seller financing note is part of your down payment or not.
Why not, and if it ever could be.
If it were, what would that look like?
I’ll tell you and you may be surprised that some sellers will accept it like this.

On today's episode, Jason Pereira is going to talk to David Barnett, he is a private transaction advisor. Today he is going to specifically talk about acquisitions, but not from the seller's point of view, but from the buyer's point of view. David works with people who are looking at doing the purchase or sale of small businesses. He is a former business broker, but he does not act as a business broker today. He simply works in an advisory or consulting role.

You Don't Know What Will Get You!
I say business is risky and the things that get you may surprise you…
Because these business owners and their stories will likely never be part of any Ted talk.
They’re comments about what can really happen in the world of small business.
But you can’t often hear them, because they’re whispers usually.
