💵 Tier C — Cash Buyer (no seller finance)

🏠

① TL;DR

SFH that already cash-flows at retail. DO NOT pitch seller finance — Richard explicit: "Strong cash-flowing deals usually don't need seller financing." Submit cash offer at 70–80% of asking via Grand In Taylor.

② When to use

  • Property type: SFH
  • Already cash-flows for a cash buyer at full ask (CF > $200/mo)
  • DOM: 60+ days
  • Strategy: wholesale at a cash discount, NOT creative finance

③ How to run this play (step-by-step)

  1. Confirm Tier C — cash-flow check
    Does this SFH cash-flow at asking? If yes, you do NOT pitch seller finance. If it only works with seller finance, it's actually Tier A or B.
  2. Calculate Max Allowable Offer
    MAO = 70-80% of asking price (depends on market and rehab). Use Fix & Flip Calculator if condition needs work.

  3. Find motivation BEFORE offering
    Tier C only works with motivated sellers. Ask: divorce, inheritance, tired landlord, job relocation? No motivation = pass.
  4. First contact — qualify, don't pitch
    Use the C1 script below. Ask about flexibility on price. Listen for motivation signals.
  5. Submit cash offer at MAO
    Send written offer at 70-80% of asking. Include 10 biz day inspection, $1K EMD after inspection.
  6. On verbal yes → contract
    Standard cash contract (not creative addendum).
    Trigger: cash contract parameters → paste into Claude Code (Mac)
    Append "(cash)" so Claude knows to use the cash template.
  7. Submit dispo via Cash Alt form
    Use Grand In Taylor CASH Alt form (NOT Creative form). BBC Marketplace also auto-dispos.

  8. If cash rejected — pivot to seller finance
    If seller won't take cash discount, try Tier A or B structure. The pivot recording (Pitch 29) shows how Richard transitions.

④ The voicemail

"Hey [agent], it's Tim. Calling about [address]. You have a moment? I'm an investor — looking to put together an offer this one. Before I run my numbers, can you tell me a bit about the seller's situation? Are they flexible on price, or pretty firm at [asking]?"

⑧ Counter-offer rules

If seller refuses to negotiate to 70–80%, pivot to Tier A/B seller-finance offer (if structure fits).
Seller motivation matters here more than price — divorces, inherited, tired landlords are best.
