Investopedia explains 'Seller-Financed Sale'

Seller-financed sales generally have no preset lending criteria that must be met; lending institutions do. This type of sale can provide more favorable terms to the buyer, but it may also entail greater risk for the lender. The IRS imposes a mandatory minimum interest rate on seller-financed sales of any kind, although the timing of interest reporting differs depending upon the type of property being sold.
