Zero, I stay away from that and don't find it necessary/ Before you do it or recommend it, talk to a CPA or a tax attorney about the tax implications.

I haven't included owner financing in an offer in many years.  In that particular situation it was a home where construction had stopped before completion.   

We work mainly with investors.  There are times when they will finance the sale of one of their properties.  I would say the interest rate they receive would be a contributing factor.

We do it every now and then.  For certain rural properties, this is the only way to sell as appraisers won't go out long distances to evaluate and conventional financing is not an option without an appraiser. 

Zero, interest rates are so low it does not pay!

In the past couple of years I wrote two offers for a client that asked for owner financing so that they could close on a property while they also completed the sale of a couple of other properties to free up additional cash.  In both cases we were really looking for a bridge loan of less than 6 months.  Both seller and buyer were high net worth individuals moving around some investment properties.  The buyer was purchasing a multi million dollar property and they wanted the seller to carry back about a million

I'm working on one right now.  It's challenging these days because I just don't think people trust one another like they used to.

Have only done one in my career and it's been years

I do not include it, rates are to low

I seldom work with anyone interested in offering this

Owner financing is popular in commercial

Only once in hundreds of transactions

Hella M. Rothwell, Broker/Realtor® - not in the first go for sure. We have to be competitive in this market.....

I haven't in a very long time!  

Recently on some banged-up rental properties.  Other than that, rarely.

Not very often

Zilch.  Very complex and most owners need their money to buy something new.

We still have this come up quite a bit and it's usually on a property that's difficult to get traditional financing on.

I haven't written an owner financing offer in several years.

I have bought and sold a few that way, but for most people it is a road with too many hazards.

We haven't done owner financing in a very long time. Used to years ago - it was common back then.

Hi Hella - We did a few way way back, but it has been years since we've seen an owner financed deal around here.

I include a pre-qualified letter for reference for all PSAs

Only if there is no loan on the property. It is not that difficult to do and has a lot of advantages for buyers with credit issues or traditional financing issues. 

ZERO. There isn't anyone that owns their house outright or has that much equity. I also never recommend a seller becoming the bank.

In my case, hardly. 

Hella,

We have not seen that is ages.  A

I haven't done one with owner financing in many years.  It's pretty rare around here.

This is easy... N E V E R!

I haven't heard of any in my office doing that recently....that was decades ago.... I held a few second mortgages myself and collected on most of them.... lost on two.... and still have one with plenty of equity in the home and making 7%....

I haven't in many years

In almost 25 years I've never included owner financing in an offer and I doubt I'll do so unless rates jump to astronomical levels the way they did in the 1970's.

I've personally done owner financing twice on my first two rentals I ever bought back in 1989-1995 era. I've never had a client want it. But, if I did, it would be an investor or a buyer with poor credit-but has cash, I'd imagine.

ONLY ONCE. IT DID NOT EVEN WORK BACK FIRED. BUYER WANTS ZERO INTEREST OVER 15 YEARS. 

Not common in our area.

I have not done so in years.
