Yes, the amortizations must be coordinated together, you won't have 120 pay periods, you would have something like 122.7 payment periods and the odd fractional payment owing at the end, if less than the amortized payment would be due with the last payment and not considered a balloon payment, but a final payment.Amateur finance types (uninformed) will not understand the weighted approach to multiple of interest bearing on different loan amounts over different amortized periods, unless they suffered through some statistics or finance classes in college.

All I needed was my first deal so I would know that this is real and worth the struggle.After 6 1/2 months of tripping, falling, stumbling and spending a ton of money on the next bright shiny object AND marketing for buyers and sellers, I got my first deal while I was working a full time job and I never looked back.If you want to be successful in this business or any other business then you absolutely must have the right mindset and make a decision to simply just do it and believe that there is no competition only co-petition and never give up.Read the Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity by Edwene Gaines and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra.Changed my life and my business for the better.

New investors get nervous and you'll need to manage them too, if they weren't motivated on their own they will be harder to manage along the way.Soliciting investors can get you in hot water, there are folks out there, like your competition that might just turn you in.
