Is it a good idea to finance someone buying property from you?



they want to put 10% down

well- not really unless you have had experience. If they are family or a friend - then you may feel bad for them when they are haveing a rough time, etc... and you are losing out on your money. If you don't know them... well that can be worse! I guess if they have a SIGNIFICANT down payment. and a WRITTEN< SIGNED AND NOTARIZED agreement, also aloowing interest and loss of down payment in case of any default. and if you feel ok about it- then go ahead. BUT if you owe on this property and have to make a payment and they don't pay you- you can be bumming. think hard about this. It can make you or break you! Source(s): experience!!!!!!!!!! :-(
Unless you want to be a 'landlord" you should make them get financed and take your money elsewhere. If the buyer can't get legitimate financing then why should you take the risk that a professional lender wouldn't?

I guess that depends on if you trust that person.
No but if you do please check their credit rating first.
