Greg Gallucci Creative Financing
13 August 2015 | 9 replies
ThanksGreg You didn't specify the upside nor speak of a value add play in the deal so it's a little difficult to speculate how to best structure a creative financing package.Assuming it's a value add play with good risk adjusted gains at the end of the process then maybe the safest route is to negotiate a wrap transaction with the seller, and if your are concerned about a due on sale clause make it contingent on the lenders approval.The seller will confront these same financing scenario issues with all other buyers so if they want to sell the property then they can either deal with the issue with a reset and able buyer, you, or kick the can down the line looking for another buyer who maybe willing to assume a less than stellar financing package.As the buyer though your only concern should be the financing package that delivers you title, assuming you plan on making extensive improvements to the property, and allows you to earn what you determine is a reasonable cash flow from the project.Options aren't bankable.
