Owner finance software?

Question

Hi, can someone recommend a software that I can create mortgage statements for an owner finance deal? I only need it for one property so I don't want any reocurring bill, just something I can pay a one time fee and use to calculate interest and keep up with escrow account.  All I'm finding is loan servicing companies that charge monthly.

If it's less than $50/mo, that is managable... would still rather do it myself but that's a good last resort.

This is the company that quoted me $250/mo with yearly contracts:

$250 a month?????

I’m talking about owner financing for residential properties. What in the world is costing $250 a month For Note Servicing? The Note Servicing companies I use typically cost $50 or less depending on the company. Of course this is per house. If we are actually talking the same thing feel free to DM me and I’ll give you the company we use.

Hi Joe, I was leaning away from a note servicing company as the only one I called quoted me $250/mo.  I assumed they would be around the same price.  Can you refer me to a cheaper company?  I don't mind the leg work as I'm selling to someone I know but I would like formal statements.  I don't need help with 1099-int, payments, etc.

hello Kevin, if you haven’t fully completed the transaction yet I would highly recommend you get a note servicing company involved. They can collect your escrows for taxes and insurance and send your buyer the correct forms at the beginning of each year that shows what they paid interest. Typically if we owner finance the property the buyer pays for the Note Servicing fee monthly and we pay the set up fee. The monthly fee is usually not a big deal as it is not that pricey. We also like to explain to the buyer that if they ever refinance there’s a third-party Note Servicing company that has proof that they made their payments on time. As far as the gentleman that reference that you don’t escrow For taxes and insurance the buyer simply does that...all I can say is that there’s a high probability he has NOT owner finance very many times. It is extremely common for savvy sellers to escrow the taxes and the insurance for the buyers.

@Kevin Kay why do you need to escrow anything. Most owner finance just transfer the responsibility to the buyer. The seller is named insured and if the premium isn't paid the seller is notified and can put insurance on the property. The same thing happens with taxes. Most counties you can look up who has paid their taxes. All you need is an amortization schedule. Many on the web. Print one out.
