About Seller Financing World
Hero
We Built This Because Nobody Else Did.
When we started buying commercial real estate with creative financing, we hit the same wall every investor hits:
The deals exist. The owners exist. But finding them is a full-time job.
LoopNet shows what brokers want you to see — 226 self-storage listings out of 60,000+ facilities nationwide. BizBuySell charges listing fees that filter out the best deals. Crexi caters to institutional buyers, not independent investors using seller financing.
We needed one platform that tracked every privately-owned commercial asset in America — with the owner's actual phone number. Not a broker's. Not a property manager's. The person who can say yes.
Nobody built it. So we did.
What We Track
190,000+ commercial assets across 8 asset classes:
- Self-Storage Facilities — 60,000+
- Mobile Home Parks — 43,000+
- Car Washes — 60,000+
- Laundromats — 30,000+
- RV Parks — 13,000+
- Marinas — thousands tracked
- Boat & RV Storage — nationwide
- Budget Motels — thousands tracked
Every record includes what we can find: owner name, phone number, email, estimated valuation, financial benchmarks, and operational data. Not every record is complete — we're transparent about that. But no other platform even attempts this at scale.
Who This Is For
Creative finance investors. People who buy cash-flowing businesses using seller financing, subject-to, master leases, and other structures that don't require bank approval.
The same person who buys a mobile home park with owner financing also buys self-storage facilities, car washes, and laundromats. Same strategy, different asset. That's why one platform covers all of them.
- RV travelers looking for campgrounds
- Car wash customers looking for locations
- Operators looking for management software
- Tire-kickers who want to "learn about investing"
If you're not actively looking to buy a commercial asset, this platform won't make sense for you. And that's by design.
How We're Different
| Brokers (LoopNet, Crexi) | Listing Sites (BizBuySell) | Seller Financing World | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What they show | Broker-listed properties only | Seller-listed properties only | Every property — listed or not |
| Owner access | Through a broker (5-6% fee) | Through a listing (often brokers too) | Direct. Owner's phone number. |
| Asset classes | Mixed commercial | Mixed businesses | 8 classes optimized for SF investors |
| Financing focus | Bank loans assumed | No financing perspective | Built around seller financing |
| Off-market | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ 98% of our assets aren't listed anywhere |
The Data
We source from public records, government databases, industry registries, and proprietary scraping across all 50 states. Every record goes through verification and enrichment pipelines.
- Owner names and direct contact information (phone, email)
- Estimated property valuations based on comparable sales and income data
- Financial benchmarks (cap rates, revenue estimates, expense ratios)
- Operational data (unit counts, lot sizes, bay counts, slip counts)
-
Geographic data across all 50 states
-
100% accuracy on every record. Data ages. Owners change. We update quarterly.
- Guaranteed deals. We provide the data and tools. Finding deals takes effort.
- Appraisal-quality valuations. Our estimates are benchmarks, not formal appraisals.
Honesty about our data is part of the product. We'd rather you trust our numbers than inflate them.
Pricing
$499/year. Annual only.
No monthly option. Here's why: monthly subscriptions let people download all owner contact data and cancel after 30 days — burning our leads for one month's fee. Annual pricing ensures we serve serious investors, not data scrapers.
For context: - A commercial broker charges $25,000–$50,000 per transaction (5-6% on a $500K deal) - A skip trace batch for 500 owners costs $250–$500 — with no financial data attached - SFW gives you 190,000+ assets with owner contact, financials, and pipeline tools for less than the cost of one broker lunch per week
One deal found through the platform pays for 30+ years of membership.
The Team
Built by investors who got tired of paying brokers to access information that should be available to everyone.
