Delaying 1st payment for 60 days with option
I was listening to podcast #70 about subject 2 and seller financing. I have a few potential deals with me as the buyer and seller financing. I want to hold off payment for 60 days til I find a buyer and then start making and receiving payments.
@Grant Kemp mentioned paying a minimum option fee of $10 for 60 days to find a new buyer to contract in the podcast. How do you add that option to a purchase contract and what is better a land contract/ installment contract where a dollar for dollar is subtracted from principal or a standard mortgage agreement PITI? Please explain.
My deals seller financed would look like this as an example
85,000 Seller asking price
1,000 down payment
3-6% interest for 360 months
then I would resale
85,000-95,000
5,000-10,000 down
6-8% interest for 360 months
I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for responding.
