Seller Financing, For this option, the home's seller acts as a bank, lending the purchase money to the buyer.

This can be helpful if the potential homebuyer is not eligible for a conventional mortgage.

Co-ownership, Shared ownership is when two or more people purchase a property together.

It usually works well for unmarried couples, siblings and close friends.
