Yea, I was lucky. The man that sold me his house financed it himself. He personally was getting the 12.5% return on his money. We was 82 years old, and gave me a 30 year mortgage.
The coolest part is I looked at the house on November 1st. I woke up in my house on the morning of November 10th. We shook hands, I signed my name 2 or 3 times, looked at some of his furnishings and his lawnmower. I bought the mower, and his bedroom suite. and kitchen table as I had no real furniture.
Mr. Miller was a nice guy to me.
