pez_05 asked:


I am selling my home by owner & willing to carry the 2nd mortgage for the buyer for 2 years. What do I need (e.g. forms) to get this process started, Can title do all the paperwork, what interest is the norm to charge, closing costs, etc. Please provide details. Thanks.

      A title company can prepare the note for you based on the terms you spell out. A Real Estate attorney would be the better choice to handle the entire transaction.

      Owner held 2nd mortgages are generally from 8% - 12%, depending on the borrower and the note you will carry.

      Closing costs on a second mortage are generally small, the buyer usually pays to file the note etc. You, as the seller, usually pay for the title search and owner’s title policy.

      I would call a trusted RE attorney and find out how much they aould charge to draft the sales contract and 2nd owner held mortgage. Also, what happens if the 2nd mortgage is not satidfied in 2 years etc. Be sure to spell out what happens if the balloon payment is missed.

      Hope this helps, good luck
