Owner Financing: Actual (realized) rate of return??
Good Morning-
There are a few duplexes in my local area that look great, but due to lack of funds for a down payment, seller financing might be an option. The properties are owned free and clear. Before I try to make a pitch, I want to make sure my thought process is correct. I may be making this too complicated, but math has never been my strong suit.
Assumptions for this exercise:
$145,000 purchase price
$5000 down payment
$140,000 @ 5% interest, 30 year amortization
10 year balloon
Based on those numbers, the monthly PI would be $752. After 120 months, the total in payments made would have been $90,240.00
Based on a 30 year amortization, the balloon payment would be $111,879.00
The total payments after 10 years is now: $207,119.00 (down payment + PI + Balloon)
So in 10 years there is a $62,119.00 increase in value of the seller's 145k.
Based on these numbers, what is the actual rate of return over the 10 year period?
Thank you for the assistance.
