Seller Financing Question
Hello,
I'm a buyer and the seller is willing to do seller financing.
Purchase price $300,000
Downpayment $25,000
I will pay the seller $5,000/mo for 1 year (while I rehab the house) and then balloon payment at the end of the year when I sell the house and it closes.
$300,000 - $25,000 - $60,000 (12 x $5,000) = $215,000
Balloon payment $215,000.
The seller still has a mortgage and pays $1,500/mo.
Should the monthly payment that the seller maked during the year be added to the balloon payment? $1,500 x 12 = $18,000.
New balloon payment would = 215,000 + $18,000 = $233,000.
I'm not sure if it should be included or not. Thank you for your help in advance.
Franck
