Owner Financing
With some houses we are
able to actually provide the loan for you, without you having to go to a
bank. This works well if you have a good sized down payment (at least
8-10% of the purchase price) but have credit problems that keep you from
getting a reasonable loan.
Owner financing can
also work well for investors who want to acquire more properties, but
don’t have a 25% down payment, or don’t want the loans to show up on
their credit report.
With owner financing,
you actually buy the property from us and make monthly mortgage payments
to us. The advantage over the rent-to-own option is that you get all of
the tax benefits of owning the home, which can save you thousands of
dollars every year on taxes. You also own the home and can do major
improvements. Often the loan costs are less than they would be if you
had gotten a traditional home loan.
Doing owner financing
is also a fairly simple process. The buyers and sellers sign a Purchase
Contract, an Installment Land Contract, and a couple of other short
documents. The paperwork takes about an hour and a half, and then you
own your own home.
