Using
“Seller Financing” to sell your property.
Not all real estate transactions involve a bank or a mortgage
broker. Sometimes the seller becomes a lender to the buyer.
If you
have substantial equity in your property and don’t require immediate
payment of all the cash
from the sale, then you should definitely consider seller financing.
Seller financing or a “seller take-back” is any transaction in
which the seller loans money to the buyer to close on a piece of
residential real estate. A
promissory note is then held by the seller, which is secured by the
property.
The
amount of the down payment from the buyer and the mortgage to the
seller is negotiable between the buyer and seller. Typically, the down
payment to a seller is 10 to 35 percent of the purchase price to
provide the seller with funds in case of default. The mortgage amount can be for the remainder.
Another
common option is for the buyer is to get a conventional loan for a
large portion of the purchase price and to finance any remainder
through the seller.
Seller
financing is often used…
You should also always obtain a credit report on
the buyer and review his employment history.
If you
are confident about the buyer, you may not need an appraiser to set a
price. All this can result in a much faster sale with less
time-consuming requirements.
If a
buyer faces potential pitfalls like qualifying for a mortgage,
seller-financing is the best solution. You can offer to carry the
contract.
Seller
financing is also the way to go if you can offer the property ‘as
is,’ without the hassle, and it also allows a faster and less
expensive closing and moving in to the property.
Maximize
your opportunities.
When you sell your property, you can maximize your opportunities with
seller financing.
Often a
current receipt of large cash on the sale of property comes when
it’s not truly needed or when the seller’s investment
opportunities are for high returns only with some undesirable risk.
Taking a
big tax hit is also not appealing to many sellers, and therefore
seller financing can help mitigate the tax impact of the sale.
Finally,
you can sell the note on the secondary note market at any time if you
end up needing the cash down the road.

selling your note, if you decide “seller financing” works for you.
Another
option is to use simultaneous closes to sell your property.
A simultaneous closing is two separate closings that may occur
near-simultaneously. The first closing involves selling the property
via seller financing and passes the title to the property from the
Seller to the Buyer. When
the seller financed note is created, the Buyer becomes
responsible for making monthly payments.
After the property sale takes place and all legal documents are
recorded, a second transaction occurs wherein the private note that
was created during the "first closing" is sold to [your
company]. The length of time required between the sale of the
property and sale of note varies by transaction.
There
are lots of ways to sell your property and using seller financing is a
useful tool for a growing number of people very year.
This technique is growing in a large part because of the
improved liquidity and trading of private secured note in the
secondary note market.
Many
investors are looking to secured paper as a viable alternative to the
conventional markets, as a way to improve their returns and diversify
their investment portfolios.
One
thing is for certain. If
you decide to use Seller Financing to sell your property, it is
critical that you become informed.
