WHAT IS OWNER FINANCING:

When the seller of a property finances all or a portion of the purchase price, the seller is providing owner financing or “Owner Will Carry” financing. The owner of the property is essentially acting as a bank by providing a loan.

If the property is wholly owned by the seller, without an encumbrance, the seller might carry all the financing. If that’s the case, the buyer and seller will work out a down payment, interest rate, and terms of the loan. Once closed the buyer pays the seller a monthly mortgage amount, just like they would with a bank.

Even if the property has an existing loan you can still possible to buy the property with owner carried financing. Instead of going to the bank, the buyer makes payments to the seller, via whatever financing instrument they have put together with their attorneys.

The mortgage note, also known as a lien or security instrument, is generally recorded at your city or county Department of Public Records. This protects both the buyer and seller.
