I simply do not know enough to say that a 5/20 year balloon was my only reasonable option on the table.

Here's a table of the number of years, given a rate of return you need to turn $1M to $5M. 

I am not sure how or if you can convince him of 50% unless you start bringing some of the work to the table.

I haven't spoken to the husband this month, I'm wondering if this is all going under the table without his knowledge; planning on reaching out to him later today.

NO one is perfect on our side of the table.. all you have to do is follow the crowdfunders.. some of those investors are sitting on 20 to 40% of portfolios not working..  

What I bring to the table is good personal capital and willingness to handle all financing.

BRRRRrrrr is basically off the table.

Otherwise you’re asking a buyer to come to the table with $300k or more in cash (they can only get a loan for the house after downpayment not the misc. add ons.) so they can buy stuff you don’t want and they probably Don’t want either. 

Property details will be listed below, my credit is not the greatest but I do have around 10K of my own money to bring to the table.
