    In a refinance transaction that meets the refinance definition, does it matter if the funds are paying off an owner-financed loan to an individual?

    Could you clarify as to whether or not a recorded lien is associated with the owner-financed loan?

    Yes, there is a recorded lien.

    There’s your answer…a lien is being paid off, so you have a refinance for sure.

    Let’s say there is no recorded lien. Just an owner-finance agreement between the seller and purchaser. If this debt is paid in full, and it’s in the same borrower name, would it be considered a refinance for HMDA purposes?
