How to structure seller financed deal? Owner has small 2nd mortgage
Hi all,
I am looking at my first possible deal with a motivated seller that has relocated. The seller said they would consider a seller financed deal. The seller has not expressed an asking price and insisted on me making an offer first, sold in 2012 for $162,000. Comps on the same street are around $155,000 as a conservative number. The seller own 15K on a second mortgage. I'm hesitate to make this deal because of the out standing mortgage and I don't have the cash to pay it in full. Any ideas on how to structure this deal? It is a 4BR 3.5bath; has basement finished with separate kitchen.
Thanks for the help
