Hollie 99% of owner finances fail because buyer can never get a real loan. The buyers always lose.
Be patient until credit improves and buy it the old fashion way.
Absolutely, positively do not do a contract for deed. They benefit the seller only. I strongly suggest you ask a real estate attorney to draw up the proper documents for you .
Your credit doesn’t matter to anyone unless it matters to the seller if he’s going to be the one financing the property.
the state of Texas has not made those sorts of things illegal but they have made them very hard to work out. Among other things it appears that the “buyer” may be able to cancel the deal at the end of thirty days and get every bit of money returned- no questions asked- including any money paid for a house payment or rent.
Your owner could make an actual mortgage out to you but then it would make it hard and expensive for them to get their house back if you don’t make payments.
SO the owner just wants you to go out and get a mortgage from a company. Have you actually talked to a good local loan officer? They may be able to help you make this work. Things have changed but there is still a lot of money out there. A first time home buyer can actually get a huge tax credit from the federal government even more than you have paid into the system! FHA is pretty low down payment and there are a few local bond programs and such.
yes hire a real estate lawyer to draw up the paperwork and ensure both parties are protected.
