Hi all,
I have a deal in the works on a property where the owner is willing to carry back financing. The seller has a small balance left on the mortgage so I need a down payment to clear this and a little extra cash to leave in his pocket. He needs $40k (all together) which is a bit more than what I can come up with in cash (and have adequate reserves for my other units). -I really like this property and feel I have negotiated decent terms...
What are some good strategies on getting financing on $10-$15K?
For those interested, here are the number (feel free to call me out on anything as I like to hear suggestions/critiques)
Purchase Price: 185K
Down Payment: 40K
Terms: 750 Prin only Payment for 3-5 years (still negotiating) then prin balloon
Rent: 1,600-1,800 -- currently rented for 1,600 which is pretty low in the area
Taxes: 4,400
Repairs: 3-5K -- Conservatively, property is in great shape.
Hmm. Maybe you could negotiate him keeping a couple extra months rent after you purchase property? Then you wouldn't have to come up with as much money.

Thanks for the suggestion... the seller is very easy to work with so far and seems to be open to many different things. Can't hurt to ask.
