Seller Financing Question

Mika Jones
Posted

An owner of a property that I am interested in is willing to seller finance a property that has 2 lots. One lot has a 1/1 home and studio apartment on it. The second lot is cleared, vacant and has its own tax bill.  After agreeing to the terms, am I allowed to sell that vacant lot to help with renovation costs on the home that is on the other lot or can I not sell it until I have paid the balloon payment? Is this something I need to have added to the aggreement?

Thanks in advance!

Your seller becomes your lender. Usually when lending against two properties, if you sell one, you have to use that money toward paying off the lender. 

But ultimately, it's whatever you and the seller both agree to and I'd have that clause in the agreement if that is your intention.
