Selling Your House Through Seller Financing

-

You’re interested in selling your house but paying all those fees (real estate agents, closing costs, and others) is going to seriously cut into your profits. You looked into selling to a real estate investor and although getting cash fast would be great, you don’t like the idea of getting less than full market value. If this sounds like you, then selling your home through seller financing might be the right choice for you.

Top Dollar For Your House
There are several benefits to selling a house this way. Most notably - getting the best price for your house. If you are willing to get the money for your house over time, you can get full market value and often even more! You also get out of paying so many things: Real estate broker fees, closing costs, appraisal fees, remodeling expenses, etc.  Check with your accountant to see if you could also possibly save an incredible amount on the capital gains taxes owed for the sale of your house.

Customized to Fit Your Needs
You are also able to customize the sale to fit your needs. Do you need a certain amount down? Do you want the term to be 30 years? Maybe you’d prefer a 10-year term! Is there a certain amount you want to be coming in every month? Seller financing allows for you to customize the agreement between you and the buyer so that it works well for you and for them.

Hassle-Free Money
Seller financing is also nice because you get a monthly income – like that of renting your house – without the hassle. You don’t have to worry about finding good tenants. You are also not responsible for any maintenance or repairs that may come up over the course of the term. It’s time to sit back and collect your headache free mailbox money.

BUYING A HOUSE WITH SELLER FINANCING

-
Congratulations! You’re ready or getting ready to buy your own house! Most people know about the traditional route and getting a mortgage through a lender, but depending on your situation that may not be right for you. Today we are going to talk about the benefits of buying a house with seller financing. It can often be difficult to get approved for a mortgage loan through a bank for the amount you need to buy the house you want. Banks frequently require that you have worked the same job for two or more years. You must show a predictable income with paystubs and W-2’s. They can also turn you down for things such as your credit score and debt to income ratio – it seems any little thing can make it hard to meet their ridged guidelines. However, sellers who offer owner financing do not need to adhere to the strict rules banks do and can work freely with individuals who may not fit the cookie cutter mold of a “typical” homebuyer. If time is of the essence, buying a home with selle...

WHAT IS OWNER FINANCING?

-
We’ve talked before about the benefits of owner financing from both the perspectives of a buyer and seller – but maybe you still want to know what exactly owner financing is – and what it entails. Owner financing put simply is a tool that can be used to purchase real estate when you can’t, or don’t want, to use a traditional mortgage or go through a real estate agent. Owner financing goes by many names including seller financing, owner carried financing, owner carryback or owner will carry. They all mean the same thing – the seller has agreed to accept installment payments directly from the buyer. Owner financing can be used by anyone and can be used to purchase any type of property – a single-family home, apartment building, or raw land. When it comes to owner financing, there are some terms you will want to know and understand: ·         DOWN PAYMENT – It is very unlikely that you will be able to work out an owner finance deal without a...

Simple (but crucial!) things to remember about Down Payments

-
Last time, we talked about the importance of having a down payment when purchasing a new home (click here to review that post.) Although there is no hard-and-fast rule about how much a down payment “should” be, we recommend 20% since most lenders will not require you to buy Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) if you put 20% down. How much are we talking about, here? First let’s talk about how to calculate your down payment. If you are trying to decide how much you need to save, then you can use this calculation: $[cost of the home] x [0.2] = $[20% down payment] For example: $100,000 x 0.2 = $20,000 However, you may be working from the other side of the equation. Perhaps you are selling a home, and will be able to use some proceeds from the sale as your down payment. In this case, this is the equation you need: $[amount of down payment] ÷ $[cost of the home] x 100 = [percentage]% For example: $20,000 ÷ $100,000 x 100 = 20% Once you know how much your goal is for ...
