Seller financing advice
Hey BP,
I have a quick question on super bowl Sunday.
I have an off market property in downtown New Orleans ( bywater area ). I'm currently negotiating with the seller about them financing the deal. The sale price is 70k, the house is in good shape but I would need to finish the 2nd bed and bath. This area is slowly but surely changing in my opinion. Comps my agent send me we're at 100k, 145k , and 239k.
I could potentially rent it for at least 1100/mo or sale it for at least 100k after I finish the room and bath.
My 1st question would be, how much should I offer as the down payment? What's a normal amount to pay monthly, interest rate and if they request a balloon payment how long should I have at a minimum.
I'm sure I left some info out that's needed, so please let me know.
Thanks for any info or advice.
