Help with the math please
I purchased 6 lots total cost $200,000 I have $50,000 cash into it A 30 year mortgage @ 4% balloon in 4 years
I can sell off the largest lot for $225,000 BUT I would carry a note with $45,000 down @ 5% interest amortized over 30 years. Balloon in 5 years. Closing costs for me would be $23,000 I would need to use that as well as $125,000 cash from me to pay off the current mortgage
I would then have 5 lots left to put houses on
so it looks like I would have $25,000 profit in the end plus the 5% and have 5 lots free and clear for free
I’ve never been great at figuring returns or what is the best way to do something so I’m looking for advice
If I could do a wraparound/land contract that seems much better as I wouldn’t have to come up with any cash and would make 1% interest on the $175,000
BUT I don’t think buyer will go for that
