Coming up with a down payment for seller finance deal
Hi all,
I have a deal in the works on a property where the owner is willing to carry back financing. The seller has a small balance left on the mortgage so I need a down payment to clear this and a little extra cash to leave in his pocket. He needs $40k (all together) which is a bit more than what I can come up with in cash (and have adequate reserves for my other units). -I really like this property and feel I have negotiated decent terms...
What are some good strategies on getting financing on $10-$15K?
For those interested, here are the number (feel free to call me out on anything as I like to hear suggestions/critiques)
Purchase Price: 185K
Down Payment: 40K
Terms: 750 Prin only Payment for 3-5 years (still negotiating) then prin balloon
Rent: 1,600-1,800 -- currently rented for 1,600 which is pretty low in the area
Taxes: 4,400
Repairs: 3-5K -- Conservatively, property is in great shape.
Any questions, ask. Thanks! -Joe
