Seller Financing Mechanics

Seller acts as bank. Buyer makes monthly payments to seller. Common when: buyer can't qualify traditional, seller wants high interest return, deal needs to close fast, no appraisal.

Balloon Payment Risk

Balloon = lump sum due at end of short term. If buyer can't refinance/sell, faces foreclosure. Smart buyers plan refi at year (balloon-1). Smart sellers require 20-25% down + due-on-sale clause.

Tax Implications (Installment Sale)

IRS Section 453 allows seller to spread capital gain over years of payments. Lower yearly tax than lump-sum sale. Doesn't apply to dealer property or stock-in-trade.

Dodd-Frank Restrictions

Owner-occupant residential seller financing: 1 deal per 12 months without licensing. More than 1 = lender license required. Investment-to-investment deals unrestricted.
