Beginner Hard Money deal evaluation
I speaking to my neighbor whose house that was for sale. He owns the home free and clear and said he would entertain seller financing.
The deal:
Value: $375,000
Amount: $350,000
Down Payment: $35,000 (10% down)
Interest: 6%
Term: 30/10 Balloon
The home is worth more than the price. I am looking to rent out this house. Rent will cover the mortgage but I will come out of pocket for the Taxes (6k) and insurance (1.2k). I have cash reserves for 6 months and an exit strategy. The question I am looking to get answered, is this a standard hard money deal structure? He seems pretty firm on the interest rate. I am looking at ways to make this a little more attractive and to work in our favor without completely turning off my neighbor for this opportunity. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
