Q. A seller offered to finance me. What does that mean to me?
A. This is one of the options you might consider if you want to buy a home but can’t afford a significant down payment. In a “seller take-back,” the seller holds a second mortgage for you and becomes your lender. You would make your monthly mortgage payments to the seller.
Other ways to buy a home with little down include using local or federal government programs, using a tax refund, and asking a relative or friend for a financial gift. Before you do any of the above, consult a professional REALTOR® about your options. A REALTOR® also will provide you with direction and connections to a lender and help you avoid costly traps and pitfalls in the home-buying process.
For more information on down-payment options, ask for our Free Consumer Report “4 Quick Ways To Buy A Home With Little Down.” We’ll send a copy right to you.
