What Is an Agreement for Sale
The words ‘Agreement for Sale’ are both the name of the strategy and the name of the security document that the buyer gives the seller. There are two key parts to the legal aspect of an AFS deal.
- The seller’s name stays on title, but the buyer takes control of the property and assumes responsibility for it. Keeping the seller’s name on title is like insurance on the deal.
- Once the buyer pays a deposit, if any, the seller becomes the lender for the rest of the purchase price. The buyer is not assuming the seller’s mortgage. The seller is the ‘bank’ for whatever money the buyer owes, which is known as ‘seller financing.’
AFS was formerly in wide use across Canada, and remains so in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
How Agreements for Sale Work
This is an ideal strategy for beaten up properties (ugly houses). It’s also great for beaten up real estate markets where property values have fallen to the point where they might equal or be close to the value of the mortgage on a property.
Sometimes these properties have a negative value. In other words, the mortgage is worth more than the market value. Result: sellers have been known to pay buyers to take over the property!
AFS lets you buy the property for little or no money down, with no mortgage qualification. Because the ideal AFS gives you full control of the property, you are in charge of renewing the existing mortgage for as long as you want.
Of course, the property still has to work for you in the sense that you need to be able to at least rent it for neutral or positive cash flow. Luckily, an AFS situation makes your potential exit strategies much more flexible: add the property to your own portfolio, assign your interest in the property, or perhaps convert to a Rent-to-Own.
