FAQ
Hawthorne low down payment questions.
- What's the typical low down in Hawthorne, Nevada?
- Owner-financed listings often accept 5-10% down. Lease-option deals can be even lower with an option fee in the 2-5% range.
- Is there a credit check?
- Sellers may ask, but standards are more flexible than a bank. Income proof matters more than score in most Nevada owner-finance deals.
- Why isn't this common on the MLS?
- MLS-listed homes typically require a buyer with bank financing. Off-market and direct-from-owner inventory is where low-down terms live.
- What if I have a larger down?
- More down usually unlocks better rate or shorter term. Most sellers are open to a higher offer with more cash up front.

- Promissory note
- The IOU between you and the Hawthorne 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 Nevada, most owner-finance deals use the same instrument banks use, so you actually own the home at closing.
