So for me at that moment in time there might be no return on that cash that could entice me to use it because it is too much of a risk for other commitments.

B) What are some things I should mention/offer to entice the seller to structure the deal this way?

The nuts are a gimmick but it entices them to open the envelope because they wonder what the heck it is.

Advertising that a unit is "close to parks" is more enticing and informative than saying "great for families," so I really don't see why anyone (who knows that it's illegal per FHA) would still say that.Anywho, my thread was about marital status, and that issue has been resolved per Lynn's post.

The payment for delivery of the loan may not entice the Lenders to make the loans in this program any longer so they just don't write the loans for that program.  

There's nothing you can do to make your offer enticing, when you're offering $100k below market.

Like my other post, I don't see much cash flow.I'm hoping I can get some help/insight with coming up with a couple more offers that can be a bit more enticing.  

But the LTV is 35%-40% and there are some other alternatives that it could lead to that are enticing and favorable from a risk/reward perspective.

You could offer 8.5% for 7 years, and 9% for 10 years.Having a 5 to 10-year balloon, some amortization, and using a loan servicer will make the note more marketable in the event that your investor needed to sell it, though it'll be worth less than an owner-occupied note.At the maturity date, many of your borrowers will be happy to extend at the same terms based on the great return they've been enjoying, or in the event that rates are higher, many can be enticed to extend by increasing the rate.The liquidity risk from the 5-year balloons could be managed by spreading out maturity dates on the private lender notes, keeping some cash reserves, maintaining bank lines of credit or HELOC capacity on other property you own, and having a large enough lender network that there is always untapped capacity to replace lenders that demand their cash back at maturity.

I would absolutely not invest in a warzone area myself, but I don't know enough about the area to comment about that further so...The numbers on their own look very enticing and I would say all other things being equal, this looks to be a solid deal.I would say be very diligent about all aspects of this deal, especially finding out about vacancy rates, future rental rates, and deferred maintenance.
