We have been leasing a home for over a year, we put 10,000. down and are now going to use the owner finance option.

How does this work? The seller wrote up a contract through a "friend" with a title company but it seems to me the bank holding the mortgage should be involved. What do I need to do, or what should I be looking for? What are the usal steps?

I would have your attorney take a look at it just to make sure the contract is not one sided. The title company will record the note and mortgage just like a mortgage company would. Instead of paying a mortgage company you are paying an individual.

Im not sure about a couple of the questions that you had about the bank being involved so please clarify a couple things. Is the owner financing just a portion of the financing? Is there a bank that will be holding a mortgage in addition to the owner financing? Please be more specific so that I can answer more clearly for you.

by all means, get legal representation here.

i agree, lisa, that the reference to the bank is confusing. we need more information on that to make a reasoned suggestion.

The seller will sell you the property by executing a Warranty Deed to you. The seller's mortgage will have to be paid off by the seller. You will give the seller a Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust (mortgage) on the property. Pay the title company to handle the details for you.

Hi chaos,

Welcome to the forum.

Owner financing is when the owner finances his own property instead of the buyer and the buyer will pay a certain amount every month to the seller/owner.

As far as the contract is concerned I think you should check it by your attorney so that contract doesn't become one-sided.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best of luck,
Larry

Hello Tina.

The buyer will have to pay the Taxes and insurances in Owner financing/seller financing because after buying the house the buyer becomes the owner with the obligation to pay the previous owner.

Be careful
It is a common con for someone to sell owner financed when they have a mortgage on a property then stop making the payments and pocket your money. This leaves you sitting in a home when the sheriff comes knocking with no place to live and a timeline to move.

I just read this exact scenario on a different forum and the person was stuck in a really bad way.

Good Luck
Brian
