Asking for suggestions on how to structure this deal
Hello everyone. I'm a long-time real estate agent. I did 1 seller financing for a client 4 years ago and have done 11 lease options, but they were all pretty easy.
I have a buyer who needs a couple of years to work on their credit but would love to get into home how. They have $50k cash now and a good income, but they need to work on their credit. I found a seller who is willing to seller carry, but.. Let me tell you about their situation first:
They have a 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd. Their agent also wants to get paid. All of the above totals about $430k. They want to sell their home for $550k. If the $430k is taken care of, they're willing to carry the rest.
I told them to let me see what I can do. I'd welcome any suggestions, and I appreciate and thank everyone in advance.

Go to a local bank or credit union. Preferably the one he already has an account at.
Ask them if he moves the $50,000 into a cd or money market that they can control, can they loan him the entire amount. They should also cut 1% point or so off his rate.
