If they pay off the first mortgage and the lien and I take any cash left over I'm concerned that's going to be a hefty mortgage payment and higher balance.   

I am house hacking a single family home and will be able to live for free and also some left over each month! 

If no tax use it as a down payment and any left over renovations.

My grandma left me 50k when I was in middle school, ended up being part of college, my wedding and honeymoon, downpayment on primary, down payment on my first and second rental properties, and I still have 50k left over. 

Then I brought with left over cash a long desired 2nd home overseas, which we will use 4 months and mid term rent the other months.

The beauty with the seller paid is that the money goes into an escrow account and if you refi or sell during the buy down period, the left over funds go towards the principle, so it’s not lost like if you were to buy down the rate with points and then sold/refi in the next few years.Hope that makes sense but let me know if there’s any other considerations or something I misunderstood and we can continue brainstorming!

You can pay your interest rate, pay you taxes, pay your insurance, pay your upkeep, pay your mortgage and hope there is enough left over that you can get xx per door per month.

The break down:-Closing Costs: $12,500-Inspection: $225.00Appraisal: $345.00Repairs: $500.00Updates to home: $5,000.76Total cost: $18,570.76Buyer Paid: $210,000Purchase Agreement: $110,000Total left over: $100,000.00Total Costs: $18,570.76Payment by Chase bank to investor for releasing notice of interest for subject property:My Profit Fee: $81,429.24i repeated this process and got better everything time.  

we have X buyers left over that didn't get it, I'm looking for homes for them to buy, who do you know that might be interested in selling?

The loan gets paid off first and any money left over is you “equity” and comes to you.
