**Owner Financing**, also known as **Seller Financing**, is a real estate financing method where the property seller directly finances the purchase for the buyer, bypassing traditional lending institutions. In this arrangement, the seller extends credit to the buyer, who agrees to make regular payments, including interest, until the loan is paid off or the property is refinanced.
Seller financing, also known as owner financing, is a method in which the seller of a property provides a loan to the buyer for the purchase of the property, as opposed to the buyer obtaining a mortgage through a third-party lender. This is often used when traditional lender financing is unavailable or less attractive.
