Explanation
A purchase money deed of trust (PMTD) secures the financing used to purchase a property — either from a third-party lender or from the seller (seller-carried financing). PMTDs have important anti-deficiency protections in Oregon: after a non-judicial foreclosure on a PMTD securing a purchase of a residential 1–4 unit property, the lender generally cannot pursue the borrower for any deficiency.
