Terms for owner financing
Trying to get a ballpark on what sellers are getting in terms of owner financing these days. I've got a free and clear property that I'm ready to unload. I like the idea of owner financing, but just don't know what to ask for as far as interest rate, amortization, down payment...
Just spit-balling, I was thinking something in the neighborhood of:
20% down
8% amortized over 30 years
Balloon in 5 to 10 years
But that's an absolute shot in the dark. Any direction from SELLERS who have sold using owner financing lately would be greatly appreciated!

It’s all negotiable and those don’t sound like terrible numbers. 8% is at or below most hard money lenders in my area so that would be attractive to some buyers.
