Creative financing
So a family member just inherited a house (My wifes grandmother inherited the grandmothers sisters house when she passed away) and she wants to sell it. My wife and I would like to buy it BUT she only wants around $50,000 for it. I am having problems finding anyone to finance it because of its low purchase price.
My mortgage broker says they only finance $50,000 loan min. with 20% down making a purchase price having to be around $67,000 since its an investment property.
I recently let some other properties go that I found on the MLS because of low purchase prices as well.
Am I better off trying local banks? i tried to get her to finance me with a balloon loan but she didnt sound interested. She wants her money all at once. What type of loan should I be asking for?
