The loan could be secured by the property as a note and mortgage and that way you define the payment structure and interest rate to pay them.

Figure out what your monthly PI payment can be and go for those terms.     

@K BoydHave someone you trust inspect the house or write an offer with a walkthrough contingency in the first week.

Looking for legal help to put my house in living trust and also forming an LLC.

Specifically, it sounds like all interest payments made are fully deductible because, in this case, the individual unit's balance cap does not apply (because it is grandfathered) and the underlying co-op mortgage's principal balance allocated to the specific unit is below $750,000. 

I have a few deals I'm working to get seller financing on but will require a down payment.

My idea for an alternative is to use Bill Pay and just register the CC payment by transferring from the checking account and writing a "check" from the CC account for all the bills paid in that period.  

Is it common to withhold retention from the general contractor payments until lean release is obtained from the sub performing the work?
