Some people have a home they simply cannot pay for because they are upside down on their loan they owe more than the home's current value. This kind of seller just needs to be out of her month-to-month payments. But not every buyer can qualify for a loan these days, and many people are willing to take on a riskier buyer than a bank would.
Or some sellers may own more than one home and want to get out from under properties they were not able to flip fix and resell during the housing boom. Whatever the motivation, a seller who is offering to carry the loan for a buyer is, for some, a way into a house they could not qualify for through a lending company or bank.
Hire a real estate lawyer in any and all cases of carrying a note for your purchaser and in concluding the sale. Whatever money it costs in the short run is more than made up for in the long. Too many questions about this kind of financing need answers, and a lawyer and professional real estate agent will be valuable.

At the closing, the buyer also signs a promissory note promising to pay the owner back and a mortgage or trust deed that gives the owner a security interest in the property.
In some transactions, the owner carries the entire first mortgage; in others, just a small portion as a second mortgage to allow the buyer to make a smaller down payment. The contract for deed, also known as an installment sale or a land contract, is another popular owner-financing structure.
Under a contract for deed, the buyer gets equitable title, which means that she can do just about anything with the property as if she owned it, but the original owner retains the legal title to the property. The buyer and owner sign a contract that specifies the terms under which the buyer can earn the title to the property.
