@Stacie T. it's always imperative to do a full background check on anyone you're selling a home to whether you're lending to them via a land contract or an actual 1st lien mortgage. We use a residential mortgage loan officer (RMLO) to qualify the borrower just like as if they would if they were borrowing from a conventional bank. The main difference is their credit score. We require them to have at least 3x DTI just like FHA does to ensure we remain in compliance with lending laws. Not only does this protect your rights as a lender to foreclose or evict today, it also is one of the main ways to ensure you can sell the loan in the future if you choose to do so.
