Seller financing is a real estate transaction
where a property seller agrees to lend money to the buyerto purchase
and close on the property. The seller becomes the Mortgagee for the buyer;
this process is also known as owner financing or seller carry back
financing. In essence, the seller assumes the role of the mortgagee,
and carries back the loan. The buyer remits regular monthly payments
to the seller. The down payment, terms and conditions are negotiated
between the seller and buyer as in any other real estate transaction. This
flexibility allows the seller and buyer to negotiate the interest rate,
payment amount, late charge provisions, interest and payment adjustments,
any call date, any acceleration clause, and other provisions of the payment
schedule that a buyer would typically find it difficult to negotiate with a
traditional lender.
Traditional
financing for a real estate transaction normally takes about one month; the
closing cannot be scheduled until the financing is available. With seller
financing the transaction can close when the parties agree on terms. This
means the buyer gets into their new home sooner, and you get your profit
earlier.

INVESTING TIPS
Exit
strategies are essential for all real estate investment opportunities.
As mentioned last month, the profit in real estate is made at the point of
purchase, but paid on the sale. You would not enter a building without
knowing where an exit is at. It is no different in real estate
investing, especially in the residential rehab arena. 4R Management
offers several different exit strategies to put in your investing tool kit.
