CONTRACT FOR DEED FINANCING
In the near future, HHLA will offer owner financing for its real estate properties, for qualified home and land buyers that do not quite qualify for a bank home loan product, based on the following loan terms: 10-year balloon, with 30-year amortization contract for deed financing, with 5% interest and 3% down payment, and no monthly MIP/PMI. Although the contract term will be 10 years, with a balloon payment due at the end of the term, the contract will be amortized as if it lasted 30 years, which will make the monthly installment payments more affordable. The home / land buyer will be required to have a minimum investment of 3 percent. Unlike FHA and other loan products, there will be no monthly mortgage insurance premiums or private mortgage insurance fees to pay. Home buyers will be asked to agree to refinance the Contract for Deed as soon as they have removed the barriers preventing them from qualifying for an FHA, VA or Conventional home loan.
