Since it’s going to be more than $100 jump for them per month, how do I smoothly get it done without causing any concern for us

Balloons are popular with seller finance so make sure you have enough run way to get the property operating smoothly and enough equity to refi or sell when the balloon hits. low money down is a great way to scale but you have to keep a good handle on your finances other wise you can scale your problems.

Signing was postponed until the following afternoon, and it went smoothly from there.I received confirmation on Monday 1/29 that the loan had funded and we have officially closed.
