Questions
Owner financing
How does owner financing work?
The owner lends you the balance (a vendor take-back mortgage), so there’s no bank approval to get. You put at least 15% down and pay the owner over up to 30 years. The loan is fully amortizing: it’s paid off by the last payment, with no balloon.
How is the interest rate set?
Once, based on your credit, somewhere between 6% and 9%. It’s then fixed for the full amortization: no renewals and no balloon.
Can I pay it off early?
Yes. Open prepayment: pay extra or pay off in full at any time, with no penalty.
What does the credit review involve?
The owner looks at a credit report, government ID, proof of income and proof of the down payment.
Estimates for illustration only. Not a commitment to lend. Final rate and terms are subject to owner approval of the buyer’s credit and a mortgage prepared by the parties’ lawyers.

5% with an accepted offer, held in trust by a lawyer.
