Brian Tran Seller Financing Structure

Verbal offers don't mean much - if you are a serious buyer/negotiator -PUT IT IN WRITING along with a copy of a check (I always use what we call a "Skinny Contract", this is a one page document.)Show the seller what he will receive over the period of owner financing --if seller took back $100,000 @ 8% interest, interest only payments, paid monthly with a balloon at the end of 60 months - would look like this 8% x $100,000 = $8,000 a year ($666.66 a month for 60 months = $40,000 plus the principal balance in a balloon payment of $100,000 - so the seller get his equity of $100,000 plus $40,000 in interest) these facts can be very motivating.Seller needs to know about capital gains and the benefits of seller financing and installment reporting.Seller can use the financing note as a down payment or other real estate or sell the note at a discount.Seller can split the note - 4 $25,000 notes or 2 $50,000 notes - again these notes can act as down payments deposits on other real estate, sold or retained as monthly income or given to relatives as gifts.When seller financing is accepted - you may want to consider the following agreements or clauses: Always build in a discount in the event you pay the note off early (big savings here).Always make the mortgage a First Subordinated mortgage - this means that if you refi - you can place the seller's mortgage in 2nd position - since a lenders usually wants to be in first position.Make that mortgage fully assumable with release of liability - that means when you sell the property, your buyer can assume it, and you are released from the obligation (this is good)When selling the property - you can do a wrap-around - meaning if your interest to the seller is 5%, you can wrap the mortgage at a higher rate - like 10% - that means you are making 5% on money you owe - this is sandwiching the mortgage (this is good - never stop negotiating)Build in a clause that allows you to walk the mortgage to another property with equal or greater equity - this is called substitution of collateral.

Ruth Bayang Seeking blanket loan help

If you're searching for 'blanket loans' I would recommend asking the bank if they can do a separate release for any property that you might sell that was financed with this 'blanket loan'.I'm in PA - I've had great success with S&T bank with their portfolio loan program, but I don't think they lend in Jersey.

John Foster Wholesaling Contract in PA

Ideally your paperwork is looked at by an attorney before you use it with any seller.As a wholesaler, you don't need to worry much about the closing as you will be getting paid a release fee instead of closing on the agreement yourself.
