It means that the owner takes the mortgage. If you are the buyer it is a great deal. If you are the seller, I don't reccomend it.
Because as a seller, you really have no recourse. Unless you are into buisness and finance ect. You as the owner can do little to nothing if the buyer gets behind on their payments or if the house (or whatever is financed) burns down or something. You are just out your money. |

This option is offered when you cannot get a traditional loan b/c of your bad credit. Owner financing is when you pay the owner monthly payments with interest just like a regular loan. Their are some rules to it. Read everything carefully before you sign on the dotted line |

I think what you are talking about is a rent to own, or a seller carry back. In either case, the seller is extending the financing, and it would work much like you paying a banker/lender, however, rent to own you never have ownership/deed until you pay in full. Seller carry is usually just a portion of the list price financed by the seller, where a note and deed of trust are drawn just like a lender. Your local real estate agency should be able to complete the entire transaction, but it's also helpful to consult an attorney. |

The owner will put his/her own credit worthiness on the line for you to purchase his/her home and often expects some money down such as 2-5%.
Be sure you have someone such as a real estate lawyer or title/deed person review the contract you establish with the owner before all is agreed upon.
-If you fail to make a payment or two the owner can take the home back, depending on what is agreed upon. Most owners would like you to put the home under your name in a certain amount of time (2-5 years) so that they can "free up" their credit.

Check into lease to own homes as well. That is another option builders will give you. |

When a seller chooses to assist a buyer with financing they actually act as the bank would. The seller loans the balance of the purchase price after receiving the agreed upon down payment and the buyer and seller execute one of several types of financing and property rights structures:
1.) The real estate/land contract in where the title never passes but is held in escrow and to be given to buyer upon buyer meeting all the terms of the contract. Vice versa the buyer deeds his/her interest back to the seller into escrow in the event of default by buyer.
2.) A real estate note and mortgage in where the seller provides the title to the buyer and the buyer provides the evidence of the debt plus delivers the right to the seller for the seller to take the buyer to court and take the property back if the buyer does not pay.
3.) A real estate note and a deed of trust in where a third unbiased party is assigned to sell the property in the event of a default.
Needless to say each of these types of transactions have their complexities and will require substantial research on your part to understand them before a decision on which one to use is made.

It's means the owner will finance the purchase for you. He is the lender and you will sign a note and deed of trust just like you would if a bank or mortgage company was the lender. |

There are no banks involved because you are basically financing it through the owner. Some people say this can be referred to as a lease purchase. You would usually have to have a large downpayment and pay a monthly charge just like you would at a regular bank. I have seen people get taken advantage of with the owner financing. For example a guy I know was paying the owner for about 6 months and the owner didn't pay one single payment on the mortgage and the home ended up going into foreclosure with him still living there. He had to move almost overnight.
If I were you, I would work on getting your credit stronger so you can get approved through a regular bank. That way, only you will be responsible for paying the mortgage and the home will be all yours. |

The first response was correct. Owner financing means that the owner is willing to finance all or part of the home. The owner will act like a bank/lender. For example, lets say that the home you want to buy is 100k and you have 20k as a down payment. If the owner were to finance the entire transaction, he will lend you 80k and you will make monthly payments to him as if he was a bank.

This is where the owner carries a loan for the buyer. This can be either a 1st mortgage or a 2nd mortgage behind a conventional first. This can be very helpful if the rate is right. If you need financing help, please feel free to contact me. I'm a nationwide mortgage broker with 20 years experience and would love to assist.
