      Seller Financing is a topic I am always asked about. Questions like, "How do I create a secure carry-back note or mortgage that will provide the return I need, perform as written and is saleable at a high dollar if I want to sell it?" First, why carry back part of the sale price of my real estate or business sale? Here are some reasons:

      1. The buyer of your real estate or business can't or won't deal with a lender for the purchase financing.
      2. You have figured out that you can sell your property or business for more if you carry-back some of the sales price.
      3. You don't need the cash right now and you want the long-term income, in the form of payments with interest.
      4. The only way you can sell your property or business is if you carry-back some of the sales price.
      5. Banks usually won't lend on the purchase of a business.
      Here are some statistics:
      1. About a third of all real estate transactions in the US involve seller financing.
      2. About 80% of all small to medium sized business sales involve seller financing.
      Following are the basics, in outline form, of the most secure, saleable (at the lowest discount) seller financed mortgages and notes:First a Real Estate Sale with seller financing:
      1. Sell the property to a buyer who will occupy it (called owner occupied).
      2. Sell the property to a buyer whose mid credit score is at least 625. The higher the better. It's your federal legal right to know all three of their credit scores.
      3. Sell the property to a buyer who you don't know and isn't related to you. (Called an arm's length transaction).
      4. Sell the property using a third party processor like an escrow or title company.
      5. Make sure to buy and receive a valid Title Policy with insurance in the amount of the sales price.
      6. Take back a mortgage in the first position (the most senior lien) for no more than 85% of the sales price.
      7. Secure the mortgage or note with a valid Mortgage Deed or Trust Deed on the property.
      8. Accept no less than 15% cash down payment.
      9. If the buyer doesn't have 15-20% cash down payment and the sales price is more than you expected, you can carry-back two notes. One in the 1st position for 80% of the sales price and another one, a 2nd position note for no more than 10% of the sales price. These deals are called 80-10-10 (80% 1st position note, 10% 2nd position note and 10% cash). Now you can sell the 1st position note (the most valuable one) and keep the 2nd position note.
      10. The terms of the 1st position note should include: an interest rate of at least Prime (currently 8.25%); Amortized equally, monthly for up to 30 years; Pre-payment penalty for the first five years; Significant and detailed late and default payment stipulations.
