Purchase Price: $200k
Down Payment: $10k
Loan Amount: $190k
Loan Term: 30 years
Interest Rate: 7.75%
Payment: $1227.00 (Interest Only)
Balloon of $190k due whenever you desire per terms of your purchase contract.

------------------------------------------------------
So if i do a interest only 5 year loan with the stats written above, with a balloon on the remaining balance. What is the balance after 5 years? I hope the balance is still not 190k after 5 years of payment.

ps, i just want 5% to 10% down payment.

Eddie, i have already stated that i tried the balloon payment calculator, i did a 5 year or even a 30 year deal and its still comes out negative. So i don't think this is correct.

How do you do a deal for 13 cents on a dollar? Where did you find a deal like that?

Jon. Can you do a subject deal and then ask the seller to lower the amount of the loan? I thought when you do a subject to deal, all you do is take over the payment? Can the loan amount be negotiable?

Its free and clear, the home is Fully paid.

In all honestly, i don't know how to finance this deal. I am asking "you" the audience for advice. I can't do a ballon payment, the more the Potention buyer pays, the more he owes. Its crazy.

I tried a ballon payment calculator, and the numbers don't make sense, unless i ask the buyer to pay more monthly payment, but i don't want to do that in this bad economy.

Post: What is the best website to post for rentals?

Don't mention craigslist, too many adds, and no responses. As soon as you post, your listing goes at the bottom of the page.

Can somene recommend a website for listing. I thought about realtor.com but i don't know how successful they are with rentals, i know they are good for selling, but i am not sure about renting.

I thought about the local paper, but i am not sure if anyone reads the paper anymore, the classified section is non-existant.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a property that i want to only Rent or sell with owner financing. There is one issue. Because the price of the property has gone down, if i do owner financing it, it creates a Negative amortization.

The property was worth 250k, now its worth 180k, the price on the property has gone down because of the economy.

The rent use to be 1800 dollars a month when it was rented, now the rent is going for 1300-1400 dollars a month.

If i decide to sell and do owner financing, I want to sell the house for 200k with 8% intererst. I want to ask for 1200 dollars a month in monthly payment instead of $1550 that shows on the amoritazation chart. I am offering less monthly payment so the buyer can be able to afford the rent in this bad economy.

Can I offer less in rent than what the 30 year amoritization shows?

What type of loan do i offer the buyer? I thought about lease option, balloon payment. I just want to do a deal where it doesn't become a Negative amortization for the buyer.
