Frequently Asked Questions


 

Why Owner Financing?  What is a note?

 

Owner financing is on the rise with more sellers agreeing to accept payments from buyers.  There are many reasons people agree to take back a note, deed of trust, mortgage or contract including:

  • Monthly income from the note

  • No hassles of bank financing (fees, delays, and strict underwriting)

  • More qualified buyers

  • Property is hard to finance

 

Why Would I Sell My Payments?

 

Circumstances change and many sellers would prefer cash today rather than small payments that trickle in each month.  Here are just a few reasons people have sold their note payments for cash:

 

  • Retirement

  • Taxes

  • Investment Opportunity

  • Expensive Medical Care

  • Vacation

  • College Tuition

  • Unexpected Financial Changes
