<p> Tighter lending practices are affecting home sales today. Many borrowers are struggling to qualify for a home loan. Others can't get qualified to refinance their current mortgages for lower rates due to the new qualification standards. Those who can get loans are those with credit scores well over the 800 range. Even these so-called "credit worthy" buyers have a more difficult time in qualifying as they are being asked for higher down payments than in years past. They also face more demands to prove their income, assets, employment and more. For many, obtaining the American Dream of Homeownership seems like an impossible dream to achieve. However, with a little creativity, you can achieve this dream. </p><p> Owner financing is a very viable solution for many people who want to buy a home but cannot get financed through typical lending practices. There are many different forms of owner financing available. These include but are not limited to: </p><p> </p> Promissory Note- Using a promissory note, the seller acts like the bank and rather than receiving all of the purchase price of the home up front, the seller "lends" it to the buyer minus the agreed upon down payment. The balance remaining is then spread over an agreed upon term. The interest rate can be a fixed rate or a variable rate. At the end of the term. Typically, the buyer receives title at closing when using a promissory note but a lien is attached to the deed by the seller. Upon completion of the contract, the lien is then cancelled and the buyer receives a clear dead free of any liens. Subject To- In this transaction the lender is not notified of the transaction. The buyer purchases the home subject to the existing financing already in place between the seller and the lender. A deed is transferred at closing and the buyer then begins making all of the payments as set forth in the original loan between lender and seller. A small down payment is usually paid at closing but is not subtracted from the principle owed. Instead it goes to the seller, investor, or realtor involved. It would also pay the closing costs. Lease Option- This is an agreement that gives a renter the choice to purchase the property during or at the end of their lease period. As long as the lease option is in effect, the landlord/seller cannot sell the property to anyone else. When the term expires, the renter must either purchase the property or forfeit the purchase option. In this type of transaction, the renter may pay a higher premium than the current market value rental rates being charged. The property owner may then apply a portion of these higher payments toward <a href="https://www.home247.co/ทาวน์เฮ้าส์มือสอง/" alt="ทาวน์เฮ้าส์ มือสอง">ทาวน์เฮ้าส์มือสอง กรุงเทพ</a> the purchase price of the home if the renter opts to buy at the end of the term. In most lease options, the amount applied toward the purchase price will be forfeited in the event that the renter does not buy the home. A typical lease option would normally be between one and three years. The property's purchase price is usually agreed upon at the beginning of the lease option and is written in the contract. This is a good option for buyers who feel that they can improve their credit score quickly and thus qualify for a mortgage loan at the end of their lease option agreement. <p> </p><p> Just as there are many options to owner financing, there are also many benefits with owner financing. These include but are not limited to: </p><p> </p> Little or No Qualifying-even if a seller demands a credit report, they do not put a big emphasis on the report. Instead, they look at the buyer's income factors and their ability to pay the payments on the home. Past credit issues are usually not a problem. Faster Possession-Because buyers and sellers are not waiting for a lender to approve financing, closing can take place rather quickly, often in just days. Lower Down Payments-because the home is being sold with seller financing, buyers can often negotiate a lower down payment on the home. Sometimes, a seller will allow a buyer to make periodic lump sum payments toward the balance on a down payment. For example, the seller wants a $10,000 down payment but the buyer only has $5,000. The seller will accept the $5,000 with the agreement that the seller will make 5 more payments of $1,000 each at agreed upon future dates. Lower Closing Costs-Typically buyers closing costs are much cheaper with seller financing because there is no lender commercial or institutional lender involved. There are no loan or discount points to pay, no loan origination fees to pay, no administration fees to pay and no miscellaneous fees to pay. Often times, closing costs can be as under $2,000, compared to the average U.S.A closing costs of $2,800. <p> </p><p> For more information on owner financed homes and how you can achieve the American Dream of Homeownership, please visit http://usaownerfinancedhomes.com.
