I'm dealing with a mortgage company and they said said that I do not qualify for a FHA loan but the owner of the house that I am interested in wants to sell and make a deal with me. The mortgage company said that he will even "carry the loan" for me. He said he would explain more to me when we meet. But I want to know now so that I will know if I am getting the right deal.

Hi reality,

The seller wants to go for owner financing which will help him in selling off the property and you would also be able to purchase the home though you do not qualify for a mortgage. To know more about owner financing, check out the given page:

It depends on the terms of the deal. FHA loans are around 5-6% right now. So if the owner wants to charge you 12%, it may or may not be a good deal for you, depending on your personal situation.
