Seller financing vs conventional
Anyone have any good rules of thumb or calculator for the break even point between seller financing vs conventional mortgage?
So if someone offered seller financing at a higher rate, higher purchase price but 10% down vs a bank where I could get a lower rate, lower purchase price, but higher down payment 20%
Essentially I am trying to see what I am paying in opportunity costs of choosing 1 over the other. I know that is vague but I am having trouble seeing what others see in seller financing. I understand the less cash to close but if you are “borrowing” the 10% extra in cash costs you more principle and higher interest where is the break even point.
