Considering Owner Financing?

Have you considered selling your home and offering owner financing or purchasing a home through an owner finance? Here are a few things you should know going in...

The Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act or the SAFE Act's primary purpose is to place minimum licensure requirements on all mortgage-loan originators. However, the licensing requirements also expand to those who are offering to owner finance their investment or second home properties.

What does all of this mean?

* A seller, who wants to owner finance, must be licensed as a Residential Mortgage Loan Originator (RMLO) in ALL 1-4 family residential transactions that are not their primary residence or to a family member.

* Applicants must complete education, submit fingerprints for background checks, pay association fees and sit for an exam.

* There are NO EXEMPTIONS for five or fewer transactions during a 12-month period.
