I would assume that you would hire an attorney to draw up the note for you. A title company or Title Attorney could prepare one for you. You want to make sure that you follow everything legally and make sure there are no holes in the agreement.

Cover your bases...hire someone to do it for you.

I would also assume you would need to own the property free and clear.

I owe $74,000 on my mortgage, I have my home for sale and someone
has asked if I would owner finance because they can't qualify for a loan
with a mortgage company and explained their reasons to me. But, I am
not sure how this works and even if I would want to consider this. Is it possible to do with a balance owed? Thanks for your help

I am interested in doing owner financing. This house I am intersted in has had some repair work done on it. How should maintenance be on owner financing? Is there a contract that I could do to protect the buyer? Question

The owner of the home still owes on home about 10 more years but he says he will let us take over payments and the home will be ours when it is paid off. Can he do this since he still owes bank note and can you get leagal paper work for such agreemnet. Thanks

I do not believe that will work. Get an attorney involved.

rick you will want to have an attorney work this out for you. you need to be protected, and the purchase of a home is way too complicated for you and he to do this on your own.

one of the things your lawyer will do for you is to ensure that there are no other liens on the property; after all, every lien must be paid in full in order for your title to be valid.

it sounds a little like it's too good to be true. be careful, no matter what.

My brother owns the family home and he wishes to sale with owner finance. At what point do I get the deed to the house and do I need to hire my own lawyer to look over the paper work

To leigh,

You should surely consult an attorney before signing on the owner financing agreement. It is important to get the agreement reviewed by your attorney to make sure that the terms of the agreement are not against your interests. You will get the full title to the property once the terms of the agreement are executed satisfactorily.
