But what happens next?

Even with extension after extension, nothing is guaranteed, and what ultimately will occur is extremely influx. Southern Loan Servicing can help homeowners seeking a permanent solution and avoid the foreclosure process altogether!

How selling the property as subject-to or Bond for Deed may help 

The seller is not paying off the existing mortgage. Instead, a new buyer is taking over the payments. The unpaid balance of the existing mortgage is then calculated as part of the buyer’s purchase price. The buyer may need to have a down payment to cover the past due payments, or the seller may need to work out a plan with their mortgage company before completing the new sale. Still, it could prevent foreclosure and the negative impact on credit.

Under a subject-to agreement or Bond for Deed, the new buyer makes payments to a loan servicing company (like us!), who in turn makes the payments to the seller’s mortgage company.

Our title friends have set an impressive pace as they’ve scored wins for their customers during this unprecedented year.

But for every win, there have been those cases that have strict restrictions on traditional mortgages which prevents them from closing.  When Buyer and Seller have already agreed to purchasing terms, a short-term owner finance may be just the thing to move those loans that need a few extra months to close.  i.e. Forbearance plans ending, repayment plans, waiting on income tax documents.

Navigating these cases is what Southern Loan Servicing does best through owner-financing solutions. With forecasts signaling more growth in the housing market in 2021, partnering with us as your owner-financing specialist is a strategic step to grow your title business and offer a new way forward for many of your customers!

Here are six reasons why you should work with us: 

• We turn challenges into opportunities. Facilitating owner-financed or land contract sales can expand your customer base.
• We problem solve for you. Owner-financed files that come across your desk may seem daunting. Our servicing experts can review your closing documents beforehand to save you from headaches later.
• We know escrow. We are experts in knowing how property taxes and insurance funds should be held and paid. 
• We keep you in compliance. We have dedicated compliance officers to monitor IRS and licensing requirements. We file important forms tied to loan servicing for you, including the 1099INT and 1098 for mortgage interest that  individual lenders might accidentally miss.
• Offering loan servicing comes at no additional cost to the title company. The buyers and sellers handle all costs tied to the transaction.
• You can provide excellent service on both sides of the loan. Owner-financed loans typically will return to your title company to refinance or cancel the mortgage once paid.

As a retirement investment

Thousands of 401(k) plan savers have pulled money from retirement savings during the coronavirus pandemic.

You aren’t alone.

But here’s some good news: Southern Loan Servicing is putting a new twist on the benefits of investing in real estate. As a hot summer housing market shows no signs of slowing down for fall, we know our title friends are busy closing deals for homebuyers and savvy real estate investors alike.

Instead of the bank, the buyer repays the seller — and that’s where Southern Loan Servicing steps in. We are your expert in ensuring these agreements are administered efficiently and transparently.

The opportunities might not be endless right now with your 401(k), but they are with owner financed notes! We turn home sellers into smart investors every day.

Picture this: A buyer finds their dream home, but the fairytale is derailed by a financing nightmare. It’s not hard to imagine, especially now. Though the housing market is bouncing back from the initial shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, buyers are facing tougher requirements in securing a mortgage. increasingly, mortgage companies are requiring higher credit scores, larger down payments and longer track records of financial stability from hopeful buyers than before COVID-19. Adding to their concerns, buyers who fall short of these strict guidelines could find themselves facing higher interest rates or delays in traditional lenders processing their application. Not even government-backed loans, which are typically great options for first-time homebuyers, are immune to these types of mortgage overlays. This new reality makes owner financing a great and innovative option for eager buyers and sellers. They decide a repayment process that is feasible for both parties, not the bank, and can skip the arbitrary lending requirements. That means they can get to the closing table faster and go on living life. Read more here.
