If your credit is a little challenged, or if their are other reasons that prevent you from traditional financing (IE, self employed, recent change in employment, underemployment, etc), a seller financed property may be a very viable option for you. In the simplest manner of speaking, the buyer makes their house payments to the seller over time, instead of a bank.
Usually, it is MUCH easier to qualify for seller financing: many times the seller will require little to NO documentation of your credit or employment history. A sufficient down payment (10-30%) is enerally all that is needed.
