Offering owner financing can help you to broaden your base of the potential buyers and may help you to sell your home fast in a buyer’s market. You can offer seller financing on your home in a number of ways. You can do 100% owner financing or partial owner financing depending on your financial situations and existing loan balance.
 
In 100% seller financing, you finance the entire amount of the sale price. You will not receive your entire proceed of the sales until the buyer’s loan is paid off. You can do 100% financing whether you own a house free and clear or a house with an existing loan.
In partial seller financing, you finance some amount of agreed certain percentage of the sale price, you will not receive that portion of the sale proceeds until the buyer pays off the total amount you financed.
