What is Seller Financing?

Seller financing is an arrangement whereby the Seller provides a loan to the Buyer as part of the purchase agreement.

The Seller agrees to receive payments over time from the Buyer instead of receiving the entire proceeds of the sale at the time of closing the transaction. Essentially, the proceeds are “loaned” to the Buyer who then makes payments on an installment basis. The sale transaction can involve a variety of things; real estate, businesses, vehicles and other assets.

The Buyer signs a Note and Deed of Trust or Contract of Sale in the Seller’s favor that places a lien on the property and thereby secures the loan. The roles of the Seller and Buyer now become Lender and Borrower.

The Seller, now acting as the Lender, collects payments from the Borrower, including interest on the money, until the loan is paid in full.

Why Seller Financing?

There are many reasons Seller Financing is an alternative to traditional financing:

The seller prefers to receive a reasonable return on equity with monthly income rather than payment in full at the time of the sale.
A good buyer cannot qualify for a traditional mortgage, either lack of credit or sufficient down payment.
The property for sale does not meet requirements for traditional loans.
A larger group of potential buyers is desired. In a slow market, owner financing creates more interest in your property.
At a later date, after you have received monthly payments for a period of time you may choose to sell your interest for a lump sum. There are many companies and individuals who buy the seller’s interest in owner-financed properties.
