Owner financing with bridge loan as down payment
Exit strategy for 2-3 year bridge loan as down payment? The numbers below reflect my best estimate WITHOUT bridge loan paydown. Has anyone used a similar method, or can advise if this deal might be worth the risk?
I'm close to making an offer on a 20 unit MF in a Houston suburb. It's owned free and clear, and the details of the situation lead me to believe the owner would be interested in owner finance.
I have excellent credit, a 126k salary, plus about $30k of my own savings. I'm interested in pursuing a bridge loan as a down payment for the property, then using my own savings as operating costs (emergency fund). The property is 100% occupied, but I still factor 15% vacancy rate as the Texas standard. Built in 1980's, some deferred maintenance, have not done inspection, I expect surprises--but since it is inhabitable I do not plan to make any value add changes until the bridge loan has been paid off. My wife wants to manage the property, but I've factored in 8% as a contingency.
