Today's unique real estate market situation calls for a unique solution. A solution that protects both the buyer and the seller. The seller gets the full asking price for the property. In exchange, the seller retains the mortgage for a period of time. The buyer assumes the payments (mortgage, taxes, and insurance) when moving into the property. Further, the buyer assumes maintenance of the property. Both the buyer and the seller become part of a holding company, called the trust. This becomes a business arrangement, which requires the buyer to perform fully and properly.

At the conclusion of a specified time, the buyer then obtains a conventional mortgage on the property they have been living in during the specified time, at the price agreed-upon, when the trust was created.

This provides the buyer a "track record" towards qualifying for a mortgage. The seller knows they are getting their asking price, and is relieved of the burden of the expenses associated with property, now.

There are other advantages to both the buyer and the seller for utilizing this time-limited trust arrangement. The key point for the buyer and seller is they can move NOW, and each party's interests are protected. While the trust does have finite time duration, it does provide some "breathing room" and certainty to both partners in these difficult times. Check out Real Estate Resources. and Links page.
