Why Opt For Owner Financing Homes?
Why Opt for Owner Financing Homes
Albuquerque?
Instead of borrowing money from a
commercial lending office and obtaining a mortgage, a buyer can choose to
purchase an owner financed home. During this process, the current
property owner lends either a portion or all the funds required for purchasing
the house. This is becoming a popular alternative to normal real estate
transactions, especially in times when the area is considered to be in a
buyer’s market.
Types of Owner Financing
There are many types of owner financed
homes. The three most common are land contracts, lease-purchase
agreements, and mortgages. Land contracts provide the buyer with an
equitable title until the buyer has paid the owner for the full amount of the
property. At that time, the new owner would then receive the deed.
The seller and buyer could also choose
to commit to a certain type of mortgage known as an all-inclusive mortgage or
all-inclusive trust deed. In these instances, the seller carries the
mortgage and receives an interest override on the underlying loan that
accompanies the mortgage. In cases of a
junior mortgage, the seller carries the first new mortgage and the buyer takes
out a second mortgage to give to the seller as payment.
A third option is a lease-purchase
agreement which essentially leases the property to the buyer. The buyer
gets an equitable title and will receive the full title after paying the seller
the full purchase price for the property.
