FAQ
Romeoville no-bank purchase questions.
- What's a no-bank home?
- Any home sold on terms that don't require a conventional mortgage — owner financing, lease-option, contract for deed, or wraparound.
- Is this legal in Illinois?
- Yes. Illinois allows seller financing under federal Dodd-Frank rules; a licensed loan officer (RMLO) is often used to keep the note compliant.
- Do I get title at closing?
- On a true owner-finance deed of trust, yes. On a land contract or contract for deed, title transfers when the contract is paid in full.
- Can I still get insurance?
- Standard homeowner insurance applies. The seller usually requires you to list them as mortgagee, same as any lender.

Glossary
Key terms for no-bank purchase in Romeoville.
- Promissory note
- The IOU between you and the Romeoville seller. Spells out the loan amount, interest rate, payment schedule, and what happens if you miss a payment.
- Deed of trust / mortgage
- The lien recorded against the property that secures the promissory note. In Illinois, most owner-finance deals use the same instrument banks use, so you actually own the home at closing.
