Someone I know sold a house last year, and they did not report that it was owner financing in the state of Ohio they have a form to report this and it costs around 50 dollars, to avoid the 50 dollars the buyers said let's save the money and do it ourselves, so they went and got it certified and stamped everything to make it legal ( supposedly )

So here is where the problem comes in at, they paid for 2 months, then they stopped. They still owe my friend $1,434 dollars and haven't paid in months when it was supposed to be done and paid for in December and now we're in April, also the tax records don't have the full purchase price with the owner financing, only what they paid down.

Can they put a lien against the property legally if they don't end up paying the rest of the money owed or what can be done?

Thank you for all the replies. Smile

Hi Noenoeclue_is_me,

Welcome to Mortgage fit,

If you can prove that the whole agreement of sale deed is illegal (although it is) and ask the buyer to vacate the place or else ask him to modify the terms of the existing docs.(yes it can be done.The process is called as novation ).

It is better to deal this issue by taking all the parties in to confidence instead of quarreling over a small issue and blaming game.

As far as your question related to lien is concerned I don't think they will be able to put the lien on it.

Feel free to ask any further query if you have...

Your friend should discuss this situation with an attorney and check out what actions can be taken against the buyers of the property. The attorney will be able to guide your friend in a better way.
