We moving to Texas next month. I've been self employed for the last 10years and recently returned to school. Because of some business related credit issues our scores are low. We have money saved for a down payment but, we are concerned about making an owner financed deal:
1 Clear title
2 Owner not paying original mortgage on time.
3 Not qualifying in 5 years for refi. although unlikely
Other than these three things what are some additional concerns. And with my 3 concerns listed how do I protect myself as the buyer(mainly the first 2 ).
Thanks

Hi derrickwms!
Welcome to forums!
If you go for owner financing, then you and the seller of the property should sign an agreement mentioning the terms and conditions of the deal. You should get this done by an attorney. The terms and conditions as mentioned in the agreement will help you in saving yourself in case there is a problem with the property or the mortgage.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
