Imagine randomly approaching a home seller and asking him or her to
finance your home purchase. In today’s hot market, your offer will be instantly rejected most of the time. The reason is most owners don’t want to carry the loan! They don’t know you and they don’t want to take the
risk. Looking for that special owner out of dozens of possible homes can be almost impossible.
You might find an owner who will carry the loan, but it might not be the right house! After all that trouble, you should at least get a house that fits your needs. If the seller is desperate to sell the house with owner financing, it might be because it is overpriced or in poor condition. Taking care of contingencies, payment records, all the legal and financial obligations and maintaining a cordial relationship with the seller for years may be overwhelming.
Unless you are a lawyer, you are taking a risk trying to create all the forms you need to safeguard yourself. Even then, getting legal protection with owner financing is a highly specialized skill.
That’s where 3rd-party owner financing is different. You can choose any single-family home of your choice listed for sale on the market, provided that it’s in loanable condition and listed for at least $150,000.
