New member here - have found many useful tips & strategies on this site, but was never a member prior to today.I have a question about seller financing calculations regarding a deal that I'm currently working on.I'll spare you the full details of the deal, but I've essentially been able to get the seller to open up to a possible seller financing deal that would get me a great cash on cash return of near 20% on a good, solid property on the busiest street in town.Here's where I'm somewhat stuck (and I hope you can follow).
