If the amount paid to purchase an existing note is below the principal balance or more correctly, the unpaid balance, the investor will benefit from an early payoff to the tune of the discount.  

If you use a HELOC I would do a project where you can pay it back(BRRR, Flip) and not keep a balance. 

Balance (compromise) and communication are key in situations like this.

The new property has to perform enough better than what you have to pay the higher interest rate on the higher balance, AND ADDITIONAL profit just to payback the $65k you lost selling.

SEEKING feedback from other Sellers of rental or primary residence homes who have dealt with SINGH Development Company agreeing to Seller Carryback Finance terms and "the end result" from beginning to end of contract terms.The proposed offer is for 7 years, $600 monthly payment to Seller, balance due at end of 7 years, 0% interest as final overall price paid to Seller after 7 years from date of closing is inflated to $270,000.

Seems like a really balanced and prudent approach.

He *seems* to be making an effort to square people away and talks all sincere, but everything we've seen to this point I won't trust a word of it until my balance in full is wired into our checking account.

To get this amount through a cash-out refinance at 80% LTV, the home value must be at least $453,800 after one year.Based on your report your ARV right after reno is $425,000Add a 8% home appreciation for one year $34,000Estimated Home Value After 1 Year:$459,000Assuming a refinance after 12 months with a property value of $459,000: New Home Value (Post-Appreciation): $459,000 New Mortgage Amount (80% LTV): $367,200 Existing Debt Balance after 12 months: -$360,000 (because you have been paying interest only) Assuming Bank fees on New Mortgage: - $200 Cash Pulled Out: $7,001, allowing you to recover to pay only 7k on your initial investment of $29,790, leaving $ $22,789 in the deal.Many new investors mistakenly believe the BRRRR strategy ends after the cash-out.

The vast majority of "regular" or traditional (Conv/Govt) mortgages are originated by specialty lenders and brokers and are sold in the secondary market to provide yield on bank balance sheets (think Chase or BoA) or to be securitized into MBS.

@Tom Stevensonyes, when I BRRRR I typically use my own cash for the down payment, and a hard money loan for the balance.
