Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina
I rent a home that the owner has agreed to owner finance for me to purchase but they have a mortgage and a $25,000 home equity loan against it. Would I still be able to purchase and transfer the deed?

Yes, but this is very dangerous. In these agreements, a deed is not transferred to you until you complete paying off the loan and I have personally never seen one work out. I recommend trying to get a traditional mortgage or waiting until you are able to get one.
