    “This is a for sale by owner property (FSBO) in Carmel Valley. The owner is offering 100% seller financing on a $715K to $750K property. This means that if you can cover 3 payments and the costs of creating the legal documentation for the transaction, this property is yours with all the tax benefits and pride of home ownership.”

    The above paragraph is a description on a FSBO house in CV. Is the owner wanting to be the bank? The cost per sq ft. is high — $452. Can someone help me understand this?
    Thanks!

    The seller is probably not going to pay off the bank if there is a mortgage. This can be done legally in some cases with a land contract.The seller is responsible for the mortgage payments. There is something in mortgages called a “due on sale” clause that prevents this in most cases.If the seller owns it free and clear they can do what they please.If the seller in a land contract steals the money from the buyer instead of paying the mortgage, the bank can foreclose and the buyer is hosed.
