Hitting a snag with Seller Financing
Hey BP Fam!
Need some support and guidance! I am under contract on my 2nd deal (5 unit which is eating up a good chunk of my capital) Ind the midst of the 5 plex came across an off market duplex in the same area and started a seller finance conversation with the owner. Initially he said he had a very small mortgage which wouldn't be an issue to pay off. Now that we are talking numbers he likes everything but wants a larger down payment but below are my first two offers, im pretty uncomfortable with subject to (mostly because of lack of education) but im hoping somone else can see a different play to unlock this deal. There is a great amount of cash flow and its in my target area.
Offer 1:
200K Purchase
5% down = 10K @ 5% interest amatorized over 30 years with baloon at 12.
(monthly payment: 1019, total interest paid to seller 101K)
Offer 2 (after request for larger down payment)
$207,500 purchase
$15,000 down @ 4.5% amatorized over 35 years baloon at 12
(monthly payment: 911 , total interest paid to seller 95K)
What say you?
