How Much Down Payment For Owner Financed Homes? – Forte Properties

April 14th, 2012 No comments

How much down payment is needed to purchase Owner Financed homes? Find out here or visit our website @ www.GreaterAustinHomes.com If you’ve got around 10 percent saved for a down payment, regardless of your credit, Forté Properties can help you find, negotiate and purchase an Owner Financed home in Texas. The actual dollar amount of the 10 percent depends on the price range of homes you are looking in. As part of our free buyer representation, we will help you determine a monthly payment that you can comfortably afford which will then determine the price range of homes that fit your target budget. If you’ve got less than 6 percent down, you must have good credit or be very lucky if you want to be able to buy a nice home at a fair price. A successful owner financed home purchase is a balanced combination of sales price, down payment, interest rate and term to refinance. If you don’t have a huge down payment, there are other ways you can make up for it in terms of paying over market value or higher interest rates on low down investor homes, but why would you want to? If you don’t have a lot of money available for a down payment, the best option would be to invest some of that money into fixing your credit, then qualify for a low down payment conventional loan. If you need to purchase a home fast, we have other options available and will custom tailor our services to fit your unique financial situation. When it comes to purchasing a home, you should never settle for good

    What is Owner Financing in Real Estate? – Forte Properties

    April 9th, 2012 No comments

    What is Owner Financing in Real Estate? Find out here or visit our website @ www.GreaterAustinHomes.com Owner Financing or Seller Financing in real estate is where all of the purchase price, less the buyer’s down payment, is carried by the seller. Instead of going to the bank, and in exchange for full legal ownership of the property, the buyer gives a real estate lien note to the seller as evidence of the loan and makes payments to the seller or to a third party servicing company. Even if there is an existing loan on the property, the Seller can still sell with Owner Financing using a wrap around mortgage. Put simply, a wrap around mortgage is a new mortgage that is created on a property that “wraps around” an existing mortgage. There are many benefits that come with Owner Financing as opposed to conventional financing for both the buyer and seller. Sometimes the advantages inure to the benefit of one or the other, but in most cases the transaction is a “Win for both parties. Sellers like Owner Financing, because they can make money upfront, in some cases cash flow monthly and collect the equity when the buyers refinance without all the hassles and liabilities that come with being a landlord. This is also a great tool for home Sellers with little or no equity and is an excellent alternative to short sale or foreclosure. Buyers like Owner Financing, because they are able to purchase their very own home when otherwise they could not. Qualifications are easy, closing costs

        How do you buy a foreclosure?

        May 31st, 2011 No comments

        I noticed a townhome I liked that is going to be sold at auction in October because they haven’t paid taxes and owe ,000. That’s the only information given. I know the homes there go for about 90k. Is there a chance I can get it for cheap? Would I have to pay the owed taxes? Their mortgage? I’m just curious how it all works. Thanks!

          I have a foreclosure, can I still buy a house?

          May 15th, 2011 8 comments

          Two years ago I had a foreclosure, my income has increased and the reason for the delinquency on my prior loan was due to complications in my pregancy that put me on disability for six months. We are living in a rental but the landlord was using our rent money to pay the mortgage on his personal home and now the hose we live in is foreclosing. There are many houses in our area selling for dirt cheap, I’m talking like k-5. Do I have a chance to buy another house?

          I'm unclear about terms-do I do a LEASE OPTION or just a LEASE?? Which is the most attractive?

          May 11th, 2011 3 comments

          I own a 3900 sq. ft. commercial building on the main block of a small downtown area. The mountain town is known for it’s art and indian collectibles. Sales are soft, even if the town is popular. There are basically three blocks of stores, but I’m on the most heavy trafficked block, so it’s a plum. My question is about leasing it. Namely, what is more attractive to most? Do I simply lease it for a certain period of time–and how long? Do I do a Lease Option? Do I do a double net or a triple net?

          Of course, I know all are possibilities, but I’m TOTALLY ignorant about all this and want to do what is good for me, but attractive to a potential lessee.

          And how do I advertise that I’m willing to lease?? Do I use a realtor? I still have a store in the building as well, and would need two months to sell the inventory, but ONLY if I have someone committed. I am still paying a mortgage and can’t afford for the building to be empty, waiting for a lessee. Please educate me.
          By the way, I’m aware that I can go to an attorney or commercial realtor. I came here because I want to hear YOUR OPINION!!!

          I am interested in buying ahouse at a foreclosure sale but the deed shows a ,000 IRS lien and a ,000 Massachusetts lien as well as a town lien for back taxes. Since the liens are against the person who didnt pay his mortgage and is being foreclosed, if I were the next buyer would I have to pay them?

          Worried about the status of a lease purchase option.?

          April 1st, 2011 4 comments

          I entered into a lease purchase option in June. The property is still under construction & available Nov. 1. The seller is having trouble with the terms of his mortgage & wants me to get a mortgage now. I can’t due to credit issues. At first he offered a refund of my sizeable deposit, but now he says that the terms of his mortgage might not change, but Nov. is fast approaching and he won’t know for 2 weeks if he can close on the property. He also stated that my monthly payments might have to be higher than on the contract. I cannot pay more. I need my deposit to look for another place. The original agreement is in writing & states the lease/purchase commences on November 1. Do I have any legal recourse to get a refund of my deposit (the contract states it is non-refundable), since the seller does not currently own the property, there are no other witnesses on the contract and I don’t think his lender knows of his intention to lease option the property?

          Steve Straub – Investment real estate – lease option vs. ren

          February 16th, 2011 No comments

          Steve Straub, CMPS with Straub Consulting in Portland, OR explores the difference between a lease option and rent from an investment property. Steve demonstrates how a lease option can be a powerful strategy to more effectively manage cash flow with a rental property. This is a great win-win strategy for both the owner and the renter because there are a lot of people in the Portland Metro Area who want to buy a home but cannot qualify for various reasons through the traditional mortgage channels. There are over 30 videos at www.straubconsulting.com that educate and share perspectives on ways to build wealth through investing in real estate using long-term hold strategies.

          How to buy a foreclosure without lots of cash?

          February 5th, 2011 1 comment

          I am not in a position to get another mortgage, nor do I have 40-60k lying around to take advantage of these foreclosures. Is there a way to find a capitalist, or take out another mortgage on these "cash only REO offer foreclosures?" I am thinking their must be a loophole.
          This is for a second home to turn into a rental. I allready am getting a first one with my 20 percent down, and decently excellent (730 score) credit
