What Is Owner Financing?
Simply put, owner financing is when the seller provides all or partial financing for a home. This differs from the more conventional way of getting a mortgage through a bank or other institution. Some owner financed homes are financed through both the seller and a bank - it all depends on who's selling the house, and why they've chosen to put their house on the market in this way.
What Is Owner Financing? Who Does It?
Sellers sell with Owner Financing because over 50% of Americans cant qualify for a mortgage or one with a decent rate. Owner Finance buyers are usually self employed, have had credit issues in the past or are investors who know it is a smart way to buy. They have steady income, a good down payment and ready to move!
