Common Questions
What is owner financing?
Owner financing (also called a contract for deed or land contract) lets you purchase a home directly from the seller without a bank mortgage. You make monthly payments directly to the seller. Once the full purchase price is paid, ownership transfers to you.
Do I need good credit to qualify?
No traditional credit check is required. Approval is based on your ability to make the monthly payment and provide the required down payment. Past credit issues, self-employment, or limited credit history do not automatically disqualify you.
Is this the same as rent-to-own?
No. These are not rent-to-own homes. With owner financing, you are purchasing the property under a contract for deed. Monthly payments go toward the purchase price — not rent — and you are responsible for the property as a homeowner.
Are you the owner of the homes or an agent?
Seismic Shift Homes, LLC works directly with owner-financed properties and is not acting as a traditional real estate agent. Homes are offered through owner-financing agreements rather than bank-financed sales.
