Creative selling to first time home buyers
I have an idea that I would like to run by the community.
I have a SFH that I would like to sell. The current renter is interested in purchasing but she has no savings.
Here is my possible solution:
She qualifies as a first time home buyer.
What if I lend her the 3.5% down payment with the agreement that I would retain 10% ownership via the title?
Then, when the loan is refinanced or the house is sold, I would receive my 10% equity.
