Thanks, Gary Neely Gary, Just use you standard state contract and write out the terms of your seller financing in an addendum or on the OTP itself if there's lines for additional provisions.Be clear and concise.Example,Seller will carry a promissory note secured by a 1st position mortgage in the amount $97,583.00, at 6% interest, amortized over 30 years, witha a maturity date and balloon payment due 10 years after the closing date.Hope this helps and certainly get an attorney involved if you are not comfortable drafting the language.

Both FNMA and FHLMC permit this, under the following circumstances: Notes: For all such transfers affecting mortgage loans purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae on or after June 1, 2016, the transferee is not required to occupy the propertya limited liability company (LLC), provided thatthe mortgage loan was purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae on or after June 1, 2016, andthe LLC is controlled by the original borrower or the original borrower owns a majority interest in the LLC, and if the transfer results in a permitted change of occupancy type to an investment property, such change does not violate the security instrument (for example, the 12 month occupancy requirement for a principal residence).The servicer must notify the borrower that a property transferred to an LLC must be transferred back to a natural person prior to any subsequent refinance application in order to meet Fannie Mae’s Selling Guide underwriting requirements.Citation: D1-4.1-02: Allowable Exemptions Due to the Type of Transfer (04/13/2022)Now, you will still have the Note and reporting in your name individually and will still be personally responsible for the mortgage and most likely, the manner of transfer will enable any litigant to pierce the veil of your LLC, but you'll have what you wanted, for whatever reason. 
George Red Done with tenant. Send vacate notice & start eviction process at same time?
18 June 2024 | 8 replies
My assumption is that she'll say 30 days is not enough time to find a new place (if she can't promptly pay her under market rent, how will she come up with first and security deposit elsewhere), will not finish paying her May rent and won't pay June either so trying to see if it's best practice to have that eviction filing in process as an incentive for the tenant to move along quickly.As a note to others in a similar situation, what I've read here in the forums that I didn't adhere to was "stick to the lease" and if someone is a consistent problem, they're not going to turn on a dime and get better, you have to protect your investment and part ways when things aren't working.Any insight appreciated.
