My goal: create an interest-free loan which is appealing to a potential homebuyer, yet doesn't make too big of a discount on my end.For example: If I sold my $300,000 house with 20% down ($60,000) over 30 years, at 6.7% interest rate: $1548.67 principal and interest per month1548.67 x 12 x 30 = $557,521.20What I would do would offer a lower monthly payment and no usury, but it would effectively be like a prepayment penalty.Arbitrarily, let's say 20% off the monthly payment, or $309.73 less per month: $1238.94 monthly payment.House would be sold at $446,018.40, which is $111,502.8 less than the total paid with a normal mortgage, but $116,018 more than the market price.
