Selling and offering 100% Owner Financing?
I am mid rehab on a property but decided to see what the market will bear and posted it for sale on Craigslist as is. I purchased this property with a loan from a private lender with very favorable terms. The original goal was to rehab, appraise, and replace the private lender with a conventional loan.
If I were to sell, I could initially offer 100% O.F. for about 6 months, then I would need to get enough cash (call that amount 150K) out to pay back my private lender. I could then carry a note on the remainder (also about 150k).
My questions- How would I set those terms up such that they are legally enforceable? I'm assuming a real estate attorney? What is my recourse if the buyer were to default? I still hold the deed and as such, could evict them, correct? Is evicting a buyer any different/more expensive than evicting a problem tenant? If the buyer defaults, gets evicted, do they sacrifice all their existing equity? What else should i be aware of?
Best.
