Alternative Options for Selling Your House: Take Over House Payments


If you’re facing foreclosure or you need to sell fast, you may find yourself running out of options to sell your house.  Selling your house to a real estate investor is one way to avoid foreclosure, but what about homeowners who need immediate debt relief?  To fill this need, many investors are now offering to take over house payments.

Take Over Payments House for Sale


One of the first questions homeowners ask when faced with this option is, “Why would I want an investor to take over my house payments?”  The idea of having a stranger take over your house payments may be unsettling.  However, there are several advantages to taking over payments for both the buyer and the seller.
For starters, the seller is able to see immediate debt relief.  The buyer takes over the mortgage payments, which prevents the seller from going into foreclosure.  For many homeowners, this is the best option simply because the process is quick and they see immediate results.

How the Process Works


The simplest and easiest way to transfer payments is through an assumable mortgage.  This allows the seller to simply transfer both the property and the mortgage over to the new owner.  Unfortunately, many loan contracts have a “due on sale” provision, which prevents the mortgage from being assumed.  However, there are some exceptions to this rule.  Lenders are often willing to forgo the “due on sale” clause if it means that they will start receiving immediate and steady payments from the new owner.

That’s where the real estate investor comes in.  With the ability to bring the mortgage up to date and continue to make regular on-time payments, lenders will be more willing to waive the “due on sale” clause.  As a result, the homeowner avoids foreclosure and the investor can take over the property.  It’s a win-win situation for both parties.  For homeowners who are facing foreclosure or needs to sell fast then this may just be their only option.   Contact us if you are in Orlando, Kissimmee, or Central Florida and you need for an investor to take over your mortgage payments
