Owner-financed Mortgage

If you are interested in buying a home but have no way to get financing, there may be a way out for you. By the same token, if you have no money to use as a down payment, this method works equally well. Owner financed mortgages can benefit you in several different ways.

Many people do not have the ability to get approved for a home mortgage loan. They may have poor credit, overextended credit, or no credit. In addition, they may not have enough money saved yet for a down payment on a home. The best solution for them would be to find a seller who is motivated to get rid of the property as soon as possible. Of course, not every seller will be agreeable to such an arrangement but there are always some who need, for one reason or another, to get the sale over with as quickly as possible. These situations create the perfect opportunity for you to ask the seller about financing the property for you (owner-financed mortgage).
