Don’t Miss Out On The Opportunity Of Seller Financing
If your credit is weak or you don’t have a large down payment, you may want to consider the option of seller financing. Research has shown almost 10% of all residential property sold involves some kind of seller financing. One main feature to this kind of financing is the ability to negotiate many different terms. The only problem is you need to locate a seller open to this option. Your best bet is to search for sellers battling a large capital gains tax, who are experiencing trouble locating a qualified homebuyer, amenable to taking payments over time with interest, or open to increasing the purchase price to help you with financing.
In the real estate industry, when a seller is willing to sell you a home in installments, it’s called seller carry back. Upon closing of your sales transaction, the seller will transfer title of the home to you in exchange for a promissory note stipulating your obligation to a mortgage payable in monthly payments. The notes will also provide for a lien on the property in favor of the seller until you pay off the loan. It’s not uncommon for seller financed deals to include a balloon payment after a few years. Once this happens, you’ll want to consider refinancing the loan or selling the property. Sellers who own the property without any liens and encumbrances are perfect candidates for this type of financing as they won’t need to pay off the mortgage loan upon the sale.
In situations when you don’t have enough funds to match the sales price, you can arrange for seller financing to make up the difference. This option also helps you save money because the interest rate will be less than regular secondary financing.
Before you get too involved in negotiating with a seller, you need to gather comprehensive documentation to validate your job, wages, credit history, and personal references. The great thing about seller financing is the unlimited flexibility to negotiate a mutually agreeable financial arrangement. Here are several alternatives you might want to explore:
1) Better interest rate
2) Minimum beginning payments
3) Buying down the mortgage loan rate
4) Elimination of the pre-payment penalty
5) Postponing the balloon payment for five years or the right to extend the home loan if circumstances make it difficult to qualify for refinancing or if you’re unable to pay the balloon payment in its entirety.
6) The right to allow another qualified homebuyer assume the second loan if you decide you no longer want to reside in the property.
In a perfect world, you would incorporate all these terms into your purchase contract; however you’ll probably have a difficult time locating a seller willing to give you these concessions. Decide which terms are vital to make the deal work for you and forgo the remaining terms you can live without.

Candlestick patterns can reveal a lot about the underlying market sentiments. Using one of these candlestick patterns without knowing about the previous trends wouldnt be very useful. Based only on the market activity of the previous few days, most candlestick patterns are valid. For instance, some of the candlestick patterns indicate a change in trend.
Usually the context in which you find the candlestick pattern tells you a great deal about what you should do based on that candlestick pattern. Lets consider simple candlestick patterns first.
The Bullish White Marubozu: It represents the day when bulls control the market and push prices higher from the opening to the closing. The longest white candle is the most bullish of the candlestick patterns. Chances are the bulls will be back for more buying the following day with the long white candle closing near the high.
This means that buying has been taking place all the day. With the long white candle, the low price on the candlestick is a good support level. One common feature of the long white candle is an open near the low of the day and a close near the high of the day.
The Bullish Dragonfly Doji: For a Doji to be created, a day must begin and end with the same price. A Doji is formed when the opening and the closing prices are the same. So essentially there is no stick in the candlestick.
Doji patterns are usually associated with a market turn. Doji depicts a day where the battle between the bulls and the bears has been fairly equal. A Doji may not look very exciting to you. But dont be fooled.
The price action depicted by the Dragonfly Doji bodes very well for those hoping that prices go higher. The low of the Dragonfly Doji day is considered a near term support level. A Dragonfly Doji is unique in that three of the four candlestick patterns- the open, high and the close are all equal. You can make smart trades based on the Dragonfly Dojis.
The Bearish Long Black Candle: A long black candle means that sellers take over at the beginning of the day and push prices lower and lower until the end of the day. The long black candle is the direct counterpart of the long white candle discussed earlier. The long black candle is as bearish as it gets.
Price sensitivity is very low for these sellers and they are selling just to get out of their trades regardless of the prices. The long black candlestick pattern is a good bearish signal. You can capitalize on this fact. Seeing this type of enthusiastic selling must give you the confidence after the appearance of the long black candle that the bears will be in control for a few more days.
