Seller-Financing Is On the Rise!

If your having trouble selling your home, you may want to consider "short term" owner financing through a Land Contract. Seller financing is when the seller is willing to become the bank to the buyer for a short period of time. In times like these, where banks will only loan to borrowers with "GREAT" credit, seller financing can be a great selling point for your home.
Seller-financing surged in the 1980's when banks were charging up to 20% interest on loans..so many people decided to cut out the banks and just use seller-financing.
And now we're seeing history repeat itself.

Seller financing is on the rise and does open the opportunity to sell property to a lot larger market since mortgage underwriting guidelines have tightened up. With that said, a smart seller will want to protect their investment and make sure that the resulting note is safe and secure. Also- if structured correctly, and seasoned a few months, a seller financed note can be sold for cash. You will want to make sure to set up the transaction in a way that allows you to get the most cash possible should you want to sell the note at some point in time.
