Creative financing question
Seller owes 120k on a 400k building
His goal is cash flow for retirement
His mortgage is 2,200/month
After expenses he’s breaking even due to below market rents...
should I... do a wrap around mortgage pay his 2K mortgage and make an agreement I won’t start paying for his equity until I get rents up?
OR
Take a mortgage out on his remaining 120k mortgage balance so the new mortgage is only like $700/month have him take a second lien position and immediately start a seller financed agreement since he’d technically have it paid off.

@Rick Pozos rents can go up an additional 2K/per month. If I take out a mortgage on his remaining 120k the payment will go down from $2,200/month to around $700 increasing cash flow $1500 then I would just have a note (with seller) for his equity
