Owner financing (also called seller financing) is a powerful tool to expand your buyer pool, accelerate close timelines, and often increase total deal value. Most California deals in the $300K–$2M range include some seller-financing component — typically 10–30% of purchase price — used to bridge SBA loan caps, smooth out earn-outs tied to customer transition, or support buyers with strong operational background but limited cash for full down payment.
Santa Monica Market Notes
Santa Monica leases drive a huge portion of underwriting. A long, transferable lease at sub-market rent can add 20–40% to enterprise value. Buyers will scrutinize parking, foot traffic, and rent ratios more than almost anywhere else in LA.
