Payments on First deal

Jagger Simon
Posted

I am a newbie investor and I have a seller finance deal in the works that’s looking really well, I was wondering how do you make the monthly payments? (Principal,interest, taxes, and insurance) Usually with traditional financing the lenders has it all handled but what do I do in a seller financing situation?? I appreciate any advice thank you

@Jagger Simon

Should be the same way. You will want them to use a third party servicing company to collect the payments. That way you know payments are applied properly and tax forms are accurate

You can send PI to Seller, TI can be handled on your own. Definitely use a 3rd party to ensure proper application of the payments.

    Are you the one seller financing your property or are you buying a property via seller financing.

    If you are buying the property, read through the loan agreement / sales agreement and see where payments should be made to.
    If you have any confusion, reach out to the seller.

    Are you working with an attorney? You should have an attorney drawing up the contract. They can also create a promissory note, the mortgage, and the amortization schedule that shows all the payments and how much of each payment goes towards principal and interest. If you have a balloon payment, the amortization schedule will show that, as well.
