Who pays the property taxes?
For owner financed properties, we will pay the property taxes as long as we hold the note. We’ll collect the pro-rated taxes monthly as part of your monthly payment and will pay the county tax assessor when taxes are due.
Are there any extra fees for owner financing?
Yes, there will be a $10/month loan fee and pro-rated property taxes (and HOA fees if applicable) added to the monthly payment, unless otherwise specified.
Can I pay off the property early or make extra payments?
Yes, you can log in to GeekPay.io and make extra payments or pay the property off at any time. There are no pre-payment penalties.
How do I make the monthly payments?
The monthly payments will be debited from your checking account using ACH – checking account/routing number or from a debit card and will begin 30 days after the down payment/doc fee through GeekPay.io. You’ll have your own login and can check the loan balance at any time. You’ll also be able to see a record of your payments, make extra payments, and change your banking information through the GeekPay website.
Are there any restrictions on what I can do with the land before it’s paid off?
Yes, due to lending and mortgage restrictions, this owner-financed property can’t be used as your primary residence until the property is fully paid off. Also, major improvements can’t be made to the property until it is fully paid off.
