Owner Carry Questions
I'm selling a rental property and due to the number of inquiries regarding financing, I may consider owner carry. This would be the first time I would do this, could someone experienced in this maybe outline the risks? My plan would be to outsource all aspects (origination and escrow). The property is free and clear but I would take a 1st Trust Deed out secured by the mortgage note. Structure something like 20-25% down, 8-9% interest to recreate an incentive for the buyer to refinance.
If they default, what does it cost typically to foreclose?
Would I be able to sell the note down the road a bit to get my principal back? Would 1031 rules apply?
