Private Loan Structure Question

Private Loan Structure Question

Member since 2018 · 10 posts · 4 votes

I've searched through the feeds but haven't found a good answer to the question I'm searching.  I'm hoping others with more experience (or opinions) can provide thoughts and feedback. 

I have a family member interested in REI and willing to put forth $50,000 as a private loan. I'm trying to figure out how best to structure for a buy-and-hold property (that's currently my interest and only options right now).

So, if I can utilize $50k as a down payment (20%) on a $250,000 house with a potential cash flow of $800 (Cash on Cash ROI of 20%) would the following terms be acceptable - ie would you do it?

Interest rate: 8%

Loan terms: 20 years

Payment per month: $418.22

Cash on Cash ROI - 10%

The plan is to 1031 exchange in a few years, whereby the principal would either be paid back or would the terms would be discussed and revised for a better cash-flowing property.

If, I have any math errors or oversight please let me know.  Curious to get peoples feedback

    The biggest issue I see is that it appears you're trying to borrow 100% of the money (80% from a bank + the 20% down payment from your family member).  The bank isn't likely going to allow that.

    Ok that's probably fair. So I suppose the question would be - what amount would I have to contribute for the bank to be ok with it? or does it still need to be 20%

    Alternatively, (conceptually I understand) but what if this was a partnership as opposed to a private loan? Does the bank have to look into the partners finances too if they are providing the down payment?
