Everything you need to know about creative financing and The Atlas
Creative financing refers to alternative methods of buying property without traditional bank mortgages. It includes seller financing (where the seller acts as the bank) and subject-to deals (taking over existing mortgages). These methods often offer more flexible terms, lower down payments, and easier qualification processes.
Seller financing offers numerous advantages: lower down payments (often 5-15%), flexible interest rates, no strict credit requirements, faster closings, and negotiable terms. It's perfect for buyers who want to avoid traditional bank requirements or need more flexible payment structures.
"Subject To" means buying a property by taking over the seller's existing mortgage payments. The original loan stays in the seller's name, but you get the deed and make the payments. This method often requires less money down and lets you benefit from existing low interest rates.
The Atlas makes it easy to find properties with creative financing. Use our advanced filters to search by financing type, down payment amount, interest rate, and more. Each listing clearly shows the financing terms and monthly payments.
Listing your property is simple. Create an account, click 'Post a Deal', and follow our step-by-step process to specify your property details and financing terms. Our platform helps you reach qualified buyers specifically looking for creative financing opportunities.
While terms are negotiable, typical seller financing includes 5-15% down payments, interest rates between 4-8%, and loan terms of 15-30 years. Some deals include balloon payments after 5-7 years. The Atlas helps you find deals matching your preferred terms.
