Need Help Structuring Seller Financing Deal
Hi Folks,
I'm looking to structure my first seller financing deal on a property I'm going to see tomorrow. I know the seller from an open house when his property was listed. It didn't sell, and he reached out to me a few days ago to work out an off-market deal. Here are the details:
Property: 3/1, 912 sqft, 10,000 sqft lot, built 1950's
ARV: $130-140K
Asking: $100K
Repairs: $20K (estimate)
Rent: $1200/mo
The seller owns it free & clear and wants at least $70K down. He hasn't mentioned anything about interest (and I'm not going to bring it up unsolicited). So here's what I'm thinking:
Purchase price: $95K
Downpayment: $70K
Cash flow: $800/mo
COC return: 10%
Terms (Financed amount $25K): 24 mo, 36 mo, longer? Fixed monthly payment ($200-300/mo) with balloon at the end? If he asks for interest, what's a reasonable rate (5%, 7%)?
My strategy is to wholesale this deal to an investor in my network. Thanks in advance!
