You cannot get your asking price:  For whatever reason you listed your property but all the offers don't come close to your asking price. Selling with owner financing may help you.

Your house needs repairs and you don't have the time or money or both to make the repairs:  In this situation you may want to sell your house to someone who is handy and can do all the repairs or knows and has the means to get the repairs done.  You will want to verify that the person can do the repairs and you want to set timelines when and which repairs will be completed.
