You\’ve seen the real estate ads in the classifieds section of the newspaper: “Owner Financing Available” or “Owner Will Carry”. An owner financed real estate transaction enables the buyer of the property to make payments directly to the seller.

This allows the buyer to purchase the real estate without having to apply for a mortgage from a bank or financial institution. The seller also has the option of selling the loan to an investor for cash.

Of course, there are lots of variables that work into a price offer including type of property, location, age of house, equity, is the buyer making the monthly payments, etc. These are just some of the things an investor likes to see. Investors buy all sorts of real estate notes and deeds of trust. Every house is different, every loan is different and every deal is different. Use the above list to make the loan more attractive to an investor.

ADVANTAGES OF OWNER FINANCING THE SALE

Sell Your Property For Your Desired Asking Price
A buyer may be perfectly happy to pay market value (and maybe more) for a house that requires a smaller down payment and that a bank won\’t help them finance.

Charge a Higher Interest Rate Than a Bank Would Give
By charging a higher interest rate than a bank (say 7.5 – 8.5%) you are, in effect, increasing the overall sales price of the property, and making the note more attractive for an investor.

Faster Sell
You can sell a home with owner financing a lot quicker than with bank financing and there can be tax advantages in spreading the buyer\’s payments out over time (talk with an accountant about that).

Great Monthly Cash Flow Investment
Many owners simply like the idea that they can receive a monthly income and a high interest rate from a property even after they have sold it – and no longer have to worry about repairing leaky roofs or replacing dead water heaters.

Sell The Note To An Investor
A seller who owner financed the deal also has the option of selling that note to an investor for cash either right after closing or after waiting a number of months or years (give me a call or email and I can get you more information about selling your note).

DISADVANTAGES OF OWNER FINANCING THE SALE

Cash At Sale = Small Down Payment
Seller receives only a small or even no down payment.

Buyer Won\’t Pay
The seller takes the risk that the buyer will not make payments and will have to be foreclosed on.

Due-On-Sale Clause
If I owner finance my house won\’t I activate the Due-On-Sale Clause in my mortgage and if I\’m only getting a small down payment and monthly installments how will I pay the bank loan back?

The Due-on-Sale Clause is a provision in a mortgage or deed of trust that allows the lender to demand immediate payment of the balance of the mortgage if the mortgage holder sells the home. It is probably the most talked about, feared and misunderstood topic in real estate.

The link below is to a great article by real estate lawyer William Bronchick and will dispel any misunderstandings you may have about the due-on-sale and suggest some simple, yet effective strategies to get around it.

There Is No Due-On-Sale Jail

You can also do a simultaneous closing, where a few days after the close of the house with the buyer you receive a check for the note from an investor.

If you\’re going to owner finance your home and you know you want to sell the note this is a great way of doing it because the investor is there for the whole process and you don\’t have to start over again 6 months later with another appraisal, inspection, credit check, etc.

REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS – Providing owner financing could mean the difference in having your client sell their house quickly or having it sit on the market for months, years or not selling it at all.

Asking a seller to offer owner financing to buy their home can be a tricky proposition. Sellers often reject the suggestion of owner financing because nobody has explained the benefits or proposed owner financing as a way to sell the home. Most sellers\’ knowledge is limited to traditional bank mortgages.

Decide what kind of car you want to buy and if you can afford it. If not, then you may need to settle for something for a little cheaper. Don’t try to set yourself up for a too expensive car payment, after all, how can you enjoy your new car if you are struggling to pay for it? Remember a car gets us from point A to point B and that’s all.

To start with, do some research on the internet. Most car dealerships have extensive web sites with all of the information you will need to narrow down your search. Get dealers to compete with each other ensuring that you will get the lowest rate. Bring in an ad or print out a web page that has a great deal on it. Most times a car dealer will try to negotiate the price to get your business if they know you are looking elsewhere.

Never settle for the rate that a car dealership offers you. If you think it is too high, think about using another finance company. You don’t have to accept their financing. Go through your own bank and see how their rates compare. Many times you can find much better financing just by shopping around.

Adding on the extras that you really don’t need will raise the price of a car. Do you really need the towing package? AAA has a great rate for roadside service and their towing is included. Undercoasting and rustproofing are unnecessary expenses as well. If, like me, you live in a hot climate, the undercoat will just melt off and leak all over your driveway. Every addition adds to the amount you will need to finance. Seriously, does your car need to be ‘blue tooth’ compatible? Do you really need the talking dashboard, that most likely will give you bad directions? Consider all of the upgrades before you sign up for them.

Save up as much as possible for your down payment. If you can put down about $3,000.00, you will have to finance less and this will lower the monthly payment.

Another suggestion is to use home equity to buy your car outright. I refinanced my home and paid cash for my car. Walking into a dealership with a certified check gives you a heck of a lot of room to deal. The first dealership I walked into refused my offer, even though I had the check in my hand, so I walked out. I drove across town and bought the same car from another dealer who knew I was serious about what I would end up paying for the car. Crazy enough, the first dealer called me a week later stating he would accept my offer. Too bad for him, I already had the car I wanted at the price I was willing to pay. By using cash from the refinance, my interest rates were extremely low compared to auto financing rates and I barely feel it when it comes to making my house payment because I only added an extra $30.00 on to my house payment every month.

Bottom line, do your homework. Don’t be in such a hurry that the dealer ’sees you coming’. They want to sell their cars, it is up to you how much you end up paying.

· Interest Rate

The first thing you need to compare is the interest rate on the loan to the rates on the other loans. You will find that there are many lenders out there offering competitive charges and then others who aren’t. If you do your research and just spend a little bit of time you will find borrowing with a very good interest amount. You will want to look at the top three or four plans and then compare them. Just because a lender lends an amount at a low charge it does not necessarily make it the ultimate plan for you. This is a very important aspect to consider, but it is just one piece of the puzzle.

· Down Payment

Another thing that will affect your credit is your down payment. Generally, the more you put down, the lower you will be charged. This is something to consider because while you may like the idea of not putting any money down you will actually spend more over time due to a higher charges. Try hard to have a down payment of at least a couple thousand dollars. This will lower your monthly payment and help you with the rate.

· Credit Rating

Your financial rating will also play a role in the car borrowing you get. Individuals with high credit scores will qualify for lower rates than those with bad credit. Because of this those with great credit scores should do even more research to get the best possible rate because they are more likely to get 0% charge for a period of time or even a very low interest rate. Those with bad rating will need to search for a car plan offer they qualify for that does not have sky-high charge.

· Negotiate

The final tip is to negotiate the interest charge and terms to your best ability. Many lenders are interested in getting your business, especially if you have great rating. So, simply negotiate the terms that you are willing to accept for an auto loan. You may locate some lenders are unwilling to budge, while others will work with you. It is always worth a try!
