When we write an offer where we want the owner to carry the down payment we write it as such.

Offer: 200,000 owner to carry 40,000 @ 6 % for 20 years. Balloon in five years.

This automatically makes your offer. You dont have write any other contingancy regarding this. Either they accept this, they refuse it or they counter at which time you accept their counter or yu counter their counter until you both agree on something that works.

We buy and sell all the time with owner carryiong down payment, its pretty standard on multi-unit buildings.

The realestate agent of a property I’m interested in has told me that the seller may be willing to provide some financing on a 3-unit. I’m not offering any downpayment in return for the seller getting her asking price. I haven’t been able to obtain conventional financing without a downpayment. I don’t have the down payment. I’m structuring an offer, but should my offer be contingent on owner financing as it would be if I had to obtain conventional financing?
