The seller benefits from the spread between the interest rates of the old and new loans.Agreement: Ensure a clear agreement on who will be responsible for the existing mortgage payments and how any arrears or defaults will be handled.Seller Second Mortgage:Structure: The buyer gets a new first mortgage to pay off the existing loan and a second mortgage held by the seller for the remaining balance.Consideration: This may require refinancing the existing loan, which can be costly and may change the loan terms.I hope this helped.

I would grab anyone who will do it for you and I would expect you will pay 15 to 20% apr for those type of loans given the risk profile.. has nothing to do with you personally as a qualified borrower but for a PML if something went wrong and they are sitting behind 3 to 15k mil in senior debt most could not pay off the first to protect themselves. 

I actually just did a dscr loan to pay off the hard money I borrowed on the second property (where we live and rent the actual house) I estimate the appraisal to come in around $215-280K which if I were to take out 80% would barley give me enough to buy anything in the FL market and have cash left over for renovations.Not sure if im missing a step here or if it might be best to buy an auction home with that cash to flip and have more capital to have more deal options. 

When vetting a potential dev. deal investment, pay close attention to the developers experience in the market and the number of deals they've successfully exited. 

You pay a premium for quality properties, because they are low risk.  

If timing is critical and being able to pay cash will "win" you more offers, then you could always do a delayed finance purchase where you buy in cash and refinance into a LT DSCR rate.

Due your DD and you'll be fine with either self pay or S8.

@Don KonipolI like the “real estate is linear” and will always increase every year by X and one today was it’s ok to pay $300k for a $250k home as it’s like paying more for a subscription on a monthly basis vs on a yearly basis….

We have 3 decks overlooking the lake so it is important to keep up on that stuff.Of course you can always pay the handy person to do a quarterly walk through.

If its Paying for leads that is fine, then just some advice on how to navigate and where to look to generate them.
