Real Estate Financing: Options and Legal Support
Are you planning to purchase a home or fund a rental property investment? Real estate financing offers diverse options tailored to different buyer needs and circumstances. Understanding these options and their legal implications is essential for making informed decisions.
Common Financing Options
Traditional Mortgage:
A conventional loan from a bank, credit union, or financial institution.
Ideal for buyers with strong credit and stable income.
Bridge Financing:
Short-term financing designed to “bridge” the gap until long-term financing is secured.
Often used when transitioning between properties or requiring immediate funds for construction/property development.
Hard Money Loan:
A private loan based on the property’s value rather than the borrower’s credit.
Commonly used for quick funding, investment opportunities, or renovation projects.
Seller Financing:
Also known as owner financing or owner carry.
Allows buyers to make payments directly to the seller, bypassing traditional lenders.
Suitable for buyers with challenges qualifying for conventional financing or facing high interest rates.
Creative Financing Options:
Subject-To Financing: The buyer takes over payments on the seller’s existing loan while it remains in the seller’s name.
Wrap-Around Financing: The seller retains the existing mortgage and creates a new loan for the buyer that “wraps around” the original loan.
