Help with seller financing offer. And the NUMBERS!
Hi,
Here is the story. This house has been on the market for over 2 years. Its a cute little house that always pops up in my searches. I've only seen the outside of the house. Last year they were asking $85,000. Now they are asking $77,900. It looks like he has no mortgage.
I found the contact information for the owner. I plan on writting them a letter. I've been reading alot on owner financing. The problem I'm having is figuring out how the interest rate works.
I would like to offer $75,000 with 10% down payment.... with an interest rate of 6% amortized for 30 years.
Sounds like I know what I'm doing. BUT.... I can't figure what my monthly P/I would be to the seller.
Also what if we decide on the same terms but a balloon at 5 years?
Please help me figure out how to do the math?
Thank you
Tony V

Try the online mortgage calculators there you can find your p/I after entering your specific info. Then hit option for amortization. This will break down p/I month by month. There may be better way to calculate. Just chiming in. Hope this helps!!
