Anyone have experience with owner finance as the owner?
Good morning BP. Someone has made an offer on a home I am selling and they are asking me to owner finance. I have not experience with this so I am asking the BP community. The home is on sale for 57k he wants to put down 12k and owner finance the rest. Basically make payments to me as the bank. I get this much. What I need a little assistance with is coming up with terms. How long should the length of terms be? Do I calculate the interest payment on the entire 57k or on the remaining 45k? Standard bank loan is 4% do I go with what is standard or is it typical to have a higher interest percentage when doing a owner finance? If he does default, what is that process?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mel
