Can I Do Owner Financing In Colorado If I Have A Mortgage On The Property?

Do you have a house to sell? Perhaps you’re thinking about selling, and maybe you’re thinking about seller financing. But if you have a mortgage on your house, you might be wondering, “Can I do owner financing in Colorado if i have a mortgage on the property?” We get this question a lot so we decided to answer that here… Keep reading and we’ll answer that question and give you some strategies to move forward…

There are options

Homeowners who are thinking about selling have several options. They can list their home through an agent, or they can list it themselves, or they can sell directly to a buyer. And, many homeowners are discovering a simple strategy called “owner financing” or “seller financing” that allows them to sell their home to a buyer and collect regular payments that pay off the house:

  1. The buyer pays a down payment
  2. The buyer pays regular monthly payments
  3. When the agreed-upon price is paid, the title reverts to the buyer

Homeowners love it because it’s a great way to sell and a great way to find even more buyers – including those who might not be able to get traditional bank financing. Home buyers love it because it means more choices for them and they don’t have to necessarily impact their credit score to get a house.

If you own your house outright, you can do a seller financing agreement. But what happens if you have a mortgage? Maybe you’re wondering, “Can I do owner financing in Colorado if I have a mortgage on the property?

The short answer is: Yes.

Seller financing with a mortgage

In some states, you can create something called a “wraparound mortgage” in which you extend a mortgage to a buyer (usually at a higher rate of interest) while still paying your own mortgage to the bank. However, this is not legal in all states and all situations, and there are additional clauses that you should be aware of.

There is another creative financing option called a “sub-to”. This is a mortgage subject to the existing mortgage. I wont bore you with these little details but we can make it happen and have the best team to accompany this.

Can I Do Owner Financing if I Have a Mortgage on the Property? – There are choices

If you’re unable to sell with seller financing because of a mortgage, you have other options…

An alternative that might work for you is called rent-to-own, which has some similarities (such as ongoing payment and you own the house) and some differences (there might not be a down-payment and the buyer needs to qualify for a mortgage from a bank at the end of the pre-established rental term).
