Can I refinance my home if it is financed by the owner?

Yes, getting a standard loan when your current loan is a contract for deed in and of itself is not an issue. Above and beyond all standard underwriting guidelines, there are only three additional rules for this situation. 1) The contract must be recorded at the county, and be at least 12 months old. 2) You must be able to third part document you've made the last 12 payments. Things like cancelled checks work great. 3) No cash out is allowed. For contract-for-deed refinances in MN, WI, or SD, visit me at www.JoeMetzler.com or call (651) 552-3681.

More info needed, but the short answer is yes.. If you are looking to do a rate and term refinance, then you must have been on title for at least 12 months unless you inherited the home or are having to refinance because of a divorce.. Cash out refinance transactions are not allowed.. so if that's the goal, you will have to rate and term refinance first, then after 6 months, you can do a cash out refinance.
