How to Write a Business Letter for Proof of Owner Financing

Owner financing, also called seller financing, allows a home buyer to purchase a home on credit and make monthly payments to the seller instead of a mortgage company. The arrangement is popular with sellers who use it as an incentive to sell a house that is proving difficult to sell because of the price, neighborhood or condition. Many buyers that are are unable to qualify for standard loans because their credit scores are poor are attracted to owner financing. Writing a letter to prove owner financing is a straightforward task.

Finish the letter by noting that you are providing additional documentation of the owner financing by providing a copy of the official agreement, along with copies of the canceled checks for your most recent payments.
