It’s done all the time, every house I’ve sold in the past 10 years I’ve seller financed, all were first mortgages but prior to that I used to sell on wraps and seconds. If you want to sell and the buyer is getting a 80%-90% loan and you’re carrying a 20% or 10% second you’ll be in a pretty weak position as the buyer won’t have any “skin” in the game.
Of course the first mortgagee might not do the deal at 100%, they know it’s a bad idea.
