200 Properties in One deal -Seller Financing
Its a little early in the game at this point but this is what has happened so far:
Me: Hmmm... I see 5 For Rent ads on Craigslist with the same title but different properties. I bet this is an investor. I wonder if that investor would sell? Email to seller:: Instead of finishing the rehabs and finding tenants would you consider selling?
Email conversation:
Seller: I'm willing to sell. How many properties do you want?
Me: All of them. I'm planning to acquire 5-10 properties in the next year.
Seller: Okay, but I have 200. I'm only willing to selling all at once.
Me: It would be very reasonable and doable for me to buy them over a period of time using Cash Out Refi, one after another.
Seller: Maybe I didn't make myself clear, I'm only willing to sell all at once.
Me: Ok that would be great but you will probably need to be the bank and do seller financing.
Seller: That's possible, but I will be asking for a higher price.
Me: Let's get started with the details.....
=MY Question to the good people in the BP forum:
What should the seller financing paperwork look like? What do you recommend?
For example, I'd like to ask for no money down and 6 months of no payments but negotiate to a small amount down and 3 months with no payments, higher interest rate.
I'd also like to ask for no payoff penalties.
Let me know what I should ask for and what I should be willing to negotiate down on.
((I'm not asking for help on evaluating the deal at this point, that might be a different conversation once I get some details ironed out))
Thanks everyone for reading and replying!
