Owner Financing Benefits for Buyers
There are several benefits for people who choose to use owner financing to buy a home or land in Florida.
There’s a Different (Or Nonexistent) Qualification Process
The seller may ask to see your credit report or run a credit check on you, but most sellers aren’t financial experts who lend money every day. A seller may look at your entire credit profile and have far less stringent requirements than a traditional lender would.
Financing Tailored to Your Needs
The terms of an owner financing agreement are entirely up to you and the seller. The seller can offer you a number of different types of plans, including:
- Interest-only
- Fixed-rate amortization
- Less-than-interest
- Balloon payment
- Negotiable interest rates
Flexibility on Down Payments
The down payment on an owner-financed home or property is negotiable between you and the seller. If you can’t afford what the seller wants, he or she may be able to work with you by requiring lump-sum, periodic payments.
Seller Financing Has Lower Closing Costs
You won’t have the traditional expenses you can expect with a lender, such as:
- Discount points
- Origination fees
- Processing fees
- Administrative fees
Faster Move-In
If you’re using seller financing, you don’t have to wait for the bank to cut through red tape and process paperwork at a snail’s pace. That means you can move into the property that much sooner.
