The problem

Owner-financed real estate (contract for deed) is legally intricate and varies by state, with no good marketplace and no operational tooling for the people structuring these deals.

The approach

I built a marketplace plus an operator toolkit on top of a deal-state machine that walks a transaction from listing to close, backed by a 51-state operations library — and layered hundreds of programmatic SEO pages to capture demand.

What I built

• A deal-state machine modeling the full owner-finance transaction lifecycle
• A 51-state operations and legal-process library
• 481 statically-rendered SEO routes (states, cities, glossary, pillar guides)
• A subscription + fee revenue model

The outcome

A defensible marketplace where the moat is the brand and a closed-deal track record, with programmatic SEO driving organic discovery across every state.
