OWNER FINANCING Deal - Being the Bank

OWNER FINANCING Deal - Being the Bank

Willis, TX · Member since 2014 · 158 posts · 58 votes

Hello! Currently working on closing a deal with a wrap mortgage. I owe 32k, sales price is 109k with $9,000 down and finance over 15 years. at 6.5%. This is raw land that is mostly in the flood plain so i am happy with it. 

My question comes in to writing the documents for this. We have an attorney that we will be closing with but i want to be sure to have things written in there like late payment fees, ect. My real question is, is there a spreadsheet out there than can calculate late payments, added interest and lump chunks of cash thrown at the loan.

for instants, his payments will be $871 per month, so how can I keep track of the amount that is due on the loan if say, he misses a months payment but pays $1,300 one week and $300 the next. I guess what i'm getting at is how do i keep track of odd payments and still have the correct amount go towards the principal and interest respectively...

thanks for the help!

Get a servicer, add the $15 servicing fee into the promissory note and that way the buyer is paying for the servicing and you don't have to worry about extra payments and late payments, etc

    You're going to want to use a loan servicing company to manage collections, tracking payment etc.  It may cost a little upfront but would save you a ton of money and aggravation down the road.  

    Are you using an RMLO to write up the note?

    You can amortize the loan over an agreed upon period of time.

    Try this link to Bankrate, it gives you calculators on the above asked questions.

    The attorney you are using can add the language in. A simple sentence will be enough (see attachment)

    I use both FCI and Note Servicing Center for notes I have. For ease of setup and a more personal experience, I would recommend Note Servicing Center http://sellerloans.com/lenders/seller-financing/

    FCI has a really good platform to see all your info on your note as well as a nice marketplace if you want to list your note for sale in the future, but you do get passed around to various people. http://www.trustfci.com/

    @Mitchell Benson  Yes I think you're right about the 5 loans a year or less.  But I would certainly go with a services company.
