“Can’t Sell the House – Offer Seller Financing To Attract a Whole NEW, Hungry Market”
– Priscilla Marquez
Has your phone—or the phone of your agent—stopped ringing with inquiries from people interested in purchasing your property after months on the market? It’s been believed that a seller has the best chance of making a sale during the first month that a property is up for sale.
As the days and months go by, interest wanes, and as the offers stop rolling in, the phones stop ringing. This forces you, the vendor, to make a challenging and unpleasant choice. Find a renter or give up, hold out, cut the price, or give up?
Some people find finding a renter to be a viable answer, but only if the typical rentals for properties of your style and kind are equal to or lower than your monthly mortgage payment. For many people, giving up is simply not an option. Holding out for a higher price in a market with a 12-month supply, which means it can be a year before you actually sell, or lowering your price to undercut the competition and attempt to entice the same buyers back for a second look are the only options left.
But hold on! There is an alternative. One that is greatly sought for yet rarely mentioned. Owner Financing!
Nearly 20% of all prospective buyers today are unable to obtain conventional financing. There are several instances of small transgressions of the stringent lending criteria used by traditional lending institutions. These purchasers are actively looking for options to profit from a weak market. Some people are borrowing private or hard money, often with extremely expensive terms, but they still accept it. However, many are turning to the astute seller who is outshining their rivals by providing Seller Financing.
These are the sellers now on the market, and YOU are the opposition they are outselling. The — Seller Financing Available or Owner Will Carry — can, however, change all of that.
By incorporating those three words in your advertising, you can attract the 20% of borrowers who have been declined for a conventional loan. Potential buyers who have good to excellent credit, ample financial reserves for big down payments, but most importantly, who are eager to buy and willing to make concessions that can help you sell more quickly and possibly for more money than you ever thought possible.
Consider giving seller financing if you want to sell your home before your neighbor does. Additionally, you are not required to conduct this as a “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO). A seasoned investor should be eager to structure your seller-financed property. However, it might be crucial that you also include a knowledgeable note service. One that can assist you in comprehending the creation, acquisition, and disposal of mortgage notes so you may arrange a bargain and establish a situation that will serve your purposes. A well versed investor should be able to guided you completely.
