Seller Financing & Hard Money Lending

Seller Financing & Hard Money Lending

Hey everyone, 

I'm trying to figure out how to minimize the down payment on this CRE MF acquisition. The seller has agreed to 75% seller financing and terms I like.

I contacted just one HML so far and was told I would need to have a dp to cover most of the leftover purchase price (they said they could lend up to 65% on this project).

I figured I could just have them cover the 25% dp and refinance in the first 6 months. Are there HML for CRE open to covering this 20-25% down payment?


open to any other creative ways to structure this!

    Hello Zac, congratulations on your upcoming purchase. You may get lucky and find a lender that will do that but would be hard pressed to find someone that offers 100% financing. Almost all lenders I know, including myself, would not lend to a 1st time investor with no skin in the game.

    That being said, you stated that the seller is financing 75%. Simple numbers example of a purchase of $1,000,000 would mean they are financing $750,000 and you would only need $250,000. Maybe I am misunderstanding but, do you have any skin in the game so far?
