What Exactly is Owner Financing and How You Can Use It in Columbia

If you’re thinking about buying a home, you may have heard of the terms “seller financing” or “owner financing” and you’re not sure what they mean. In this blog post we’ll answer what exactly is owner financing and how you can use it in Columbia as another option to buy your next home…

Buying a home can be an exciting new step in life as you move up from a rental or into a larger home to accommodate your growing life. It’s a time full of possibilities and dreaming as you look from one house to the next and see yourself living there. But the one question that every potential buyer has is, how will they pay for it?

Most people have heard of bank financing, where you get a mortgage loan from a bank or mortgage lender and you pay it off over time. But there’s also seller financing (also called “owner financing”) that you can get as well. So maybe you’re wondering, “what exactly is owner financing and how you can use it in Columbia?

What Exactly Is Owner Financing And How You Can Use It In Columbia?

What Is Owner Financing?

Owner financing is when you skip going to the bank to get a mortgage and instead the owner/seller of the house acts as the bank. In other words, you still pay a monthly payment but instead of making it a mortgage payment to the bank, you pay the lender.

It’s a lot like a loan from one individual to another, but instead of getting a bunch of money up-front, the owner is letting you stay in the house. You pay the owner of the house month by month, and over time you’ll eventually pay off the house and own it out-right.

How Can You Use It?

You can use owner financing to acquire a house in Columbia. When you find a house you want to buy, you simply go to the owner and ask them if they’d consider owner financing instead of waiting for you to see if you can get bank financing.

Owner financing is surprisingly common and used in a number of different ways – from first time homeowners with bad credit, to real estate investors who cannot or do not want to use their own credit to acquire an investment property.

Summary

Owner financing can be a safe, secure, simple way to buy your next property without having to go to a bank and see if they’ll lend it to you. There are benefits and drawbacks to owner financing so make sure you research this opportunity thoroughly.
