Other than conventional loans, creative financing are other ways that you can employ in order to make your home foreclosure investment. Besides a hard money loan, there is seller financing. In this article, we will discuss 4 ways to use seller financing.
1. Seller carry back is a form of seller financing in which the seller agrees to hold a note on the property. The seller will accept monthly payments for a set amount of time. After all payments have been made you own the property outright.
3. Seller is a form of seller financing in which the seller provides a second mortgage on the property. It is important to make sure the primary loan allows for a second to be placed on the property.
4. The lease option is a seller financing method in which the seller allows the buyer to lease the property with the option to buy it later. Part of the monthly lease payment is used towards a down payment for the home.
Before entering into any financing, always examine all the details and liabilities that you are assuming. What happens if I default?
There are two types of seller financing.
Type one is when the seller acts as the bank. The seller carries the loan. If you default on the loan, there are serious and immediate consequences. It usually means that any investment that you have made in the property is lost and property reverts back to the seller.
The second type is when the buyer and seller use the existing mortgage. It is important that you keep up the payments and you probably have no protection.
This kind of financing benefits good buyers that cannot qualify for conventional loans. Buyers that are self employed, work on commissions, or barred due to bad credit (victims of circumstances) can benefit from this kind of financing.
Sellers benefit by receiving a steady income, are able to defer capital gains, and can create a retirement income.
Before the seller enters into any financing, it is important for him to interview the buyer, check credit history, and need to charge some form of interest. A third party should be used to collect the payments.
Seller financing can benefit both the buyer and the seller when making a home foreclosure investment; however, the most important thing for both parties is to do your homework. That way the agreement can be enjoyed by both parties.
