Has anyone successfully structured lender financing AND seller financing together?
The situation I'm currently dealing with is something along the lines of the following: i.e. the deal is 1MM, the seller finances 50%, lender finances up to 80% LTV. I'd like to take advantage of the additional 30% the lender is giving to make repairs, have a buffer, etc... But I'm assuming once the lender knows there's owner financing they won't finance 80% LTV anymore but less (or just the 50%). Things get tricky with 1st lien and 2nd lien holders I'd imagine.
Has anyone run into something like this? If so how did you structure it/make it work?

TIA!
Almost all lenders require the borrower to have their own cash invested in a purchase. So if the lender requires 25%, the maximum they’ll lend is 75% MINUS the amount of seller financing. Further, the seller would be required to subordinate his loan to a first mortgage; so the seller would have to be quite motivated to take his equity in a second position loan. Usually because he can’t sell any other way either because his price is above market value or because his property is difficult to sell.
