Vendor finance for Tennessee housing properties

In Tennessee, can the owner of real estate in the state of Tennessee arrange vendor financing?" Tennessee' resident lending, brokerage and servicing act (T.C.A. 45-13-101 et seq.) had posed issues regarding the sustainability of vendor funding for housing not used by the vendor. A recent Tennessee law change and a HUD regulation allow individual persons and companies that conduct one-time or very restricted business to make a vendor finance arrangement without having to comply with the license provisions of the law.

Tennessee lawmakers adopted the 2009 Act to conform to the Federal Secure and Fair Enforcement of Mortgages Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act). Tennessee law requires that anyone who arranges housing finance in Tennessee receive a Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions subprime brokerage licence.

While the law had certain exemptions for individual borrowers for immediate relatives and loan secure by ownership that was the seller's domicile, it did require resident investor to obtain a state broker's licence to perform even one seller-financed operation in the state of Tennessee.

Approval procedures are complex and expensive and would actually mean the end of many sellers funding businesses for housing. The TDFI published a December 2010 issue of a guideline in a news bulletin stating that vendor funding operations would be allowed without a licence as long as the single vendor did not complete more than five funding operations in a twelve-month timeframe.

However, this port of safety did not cover companies, LLCs, partners and other companies. During the 2011 meeting, Parliament made an alteration providing for further exceptions to the permit obligation (codified in T.C.A. § 45-13-201(b)): A natural or legal person who divides up a land plot that is empty and takes over the vendor funding for the particular land plots (but not the funding of the building of houses on the land plots).

Such exemptions give companies some flexibility to participate in vendor finance. There is no general test basis for a HUD exception for companies, LLC's and other companies, and there is no test basis for a HUD exception number. Whether HUD will find that the recent changes to the state law in Tennessee comply with the SAFE Act will remain to be seen.

Vendors must review the rules in place thoroughly before offering vendor finance for Tennessee housing, and they should keep an open mind on this subject as there may be further development in the near term. It is unlikely that individual persons in one-time deals will need to purchase a licence, but an LLC, partnership, corporation or other entity may be in conflict with the law if it provides regular vendor funding for home ownership without receiving the appropriate licence from the state.
