 TITLE: What Is Seller Financing on a Home? CONTENT: Is Seller Financing Right for You?\n----------------------------------\nMaybe you'd like to buy a home that costs a bit more than you can afford. Or perhaps you can't qualify for a traditional mortgage. In either case, seller financing may be an attractive option. You also may find seller financing is a good route if you can't come up with a big down payment, hope to score a low interest rate or want to avoid thousands of dollars in closing costs.\nBut those potential rewards must be balanced against the risks, such as onerous contract terms, the possibility of a higher-than-normal interest rate, needing to make a massive down payment, or being locked into a short repayment period.
