Oh here we go again. I heard from another realtor just this week; oh my seller cant sell a property and let someone take over the payments because the bank may use the Due on Sale Clause to ask for all their money. In the same conversation the realtor outlines the sellers best plan of action is to keep dropping the price (who cares that its the sellers $ 10,000 to $ 20,000 of equity just being thrown out the window) or rent it out.
Many realtors today without hesitation will suggest to their clients, if you cant sell, just lease it out yet the realtors dont sit down and list all of the ridiculous reasons landlords have been sued and LOST millions over. Renting has been around forever and the risks of being a landlord are just an acceptable risk verses the reward of not making vacant house payments or not letting the home go to foreclosure.
Yet at the same time, those same realtors because they are unfamiliar with owner financing as a selling option will say dont do owner financing its too risky. Oh really? Can the buyer living in the owner financed home sue the seller? Nope, not if you construct the transactions the way I do it. If the buyers dog bites the neighbor kid or the UPS guy, can the injured person sue the seller who provided the owner financing? Nope. If the buyer does something stupid, can he sue the seller who owner financed him the home? Nope. Yet if you substitute tenant and landlord instead of buyer and seller in the above questions. The answer becomes yes to everyone. In every one of those scenarios the landlord can be sued, has been sued and has lost.
“A wrap-around mortgage, more-commonly known as a “wrap”, is a form of owner financing for the purchase of real property. The seller extends to the buyer a junior mortgage which wraps around and exists in addition to any superior mortgages already secured by the property. Under a wrap, a seller accepts a secured promissory note from the buyer for the amount due on the underlying mortgage plus an amount up to the remaining purchase money balance.
The new purchaser makes monthly payments to the seller, who is then responsible for making the payments to the underlying mortgagee(s). Should the new purchaser default on those payments, the seller then has the right of foreclosure to recapture the subject property.
Because wraps are a form of owner financing, they have the effect of lowering the barriers to ownership of real property; they also can expedite the process of purchasing a home. An example:
The seller, who has the original mortgage sells his home with the existing first mortgage in place and a second mortgage which he “carries back” from the buyer. The mortgage he takes from the buyer is for the amount of the first mortgage plus a negotiated amount less than or up to the sales price, minus any down payment and closing costs. The monthly payments are made by the buyer to the seller, who then continues to pay the first mortgage with the proceeds. When the buyer either sells or refinances the property, all mortgages are paid off in full, with the seller entitled to the difference in the payoff of the wrap and any underlying loan payoffs.
