Who gets the benefits of Principal reduction?
If a homeowner finances you his property for 100k and you agree to pay him 100k but he owes 50k, and he has been paying for the property for 20 years, if you keep paying the mortgage payments and you agree to pay him 100k in 5 years.. who will get the principal reduction? The homeowner or me?

The owner does....you’re agreeing to pay him $100k in 5 years (sort of an odd set up)....it doesn’t matter what his loan balance is, he pays that off out your $100k, and the difference is his.
