Trading a home for a home?
I have a home that is a real fixer upper that I own....it is paid off. I would like to sell the home, and finance the home myself, acting as the bank.
I have had an offer for my home from a man who owns a home currently that he would like to trade for mine.
His home is worth $145,000 and he owes $120,000
My home is listed at $145,000 (coincidentally). I own it free and clear. It needs carpet, paint, interior doors, and much more, including kitchen appliances. It would be worth $165,000 all fixed up.
I am asking for advice on how to make this deal work. He would finance my home from me. I would hopefully buy his home subject-to the underlying mortgage and then have his home as a rental.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be so very much appreciated.
I also have an offer from another buyer for my house for $9,000 down and to finance through me for 20 years.
Thank you!!
