So if you're a distressed owner in a hurry to sell, out of time or don't have the money to make repairs or compromise on inspection and repairs OR  you don't want endless showings and strangers wandering through your house, especially during covid, then an investor is fast and easy.

To "soften" or reach a compromised we agreed to ONLY have $30K of the $60K in funds be considered "OPTION CONSIDERATION" funds (giving us the EXCLUSIVE RIGHT to buy the property at the $300K Purchase price) and the OTHER $30K of funds would be STILL be given to them but we informed them that it likely will be consider TAXABLE INCOME to them.

The maturity matching the amortization means no mandatory refinance, in the context of rates more likely to go down than up, that's not a bad thing.The 60% LTV option: Some folks wouldn't want to compromise on the amortization or the rate, but they might be willing to compromise on the leverage point, which is where this one comes in.

This can be a nice compromise where the GC isn't paying for materials out of their pocket and you aren't paying for labor that hasn't happened yet.
