Morby Method/Seller Finance Deal Assistance

We are super excited and in the process of purchasing a home to turn into residential assisted living space which our community desperately needs. We found the correct home, now trying to work the deal/paperwork for the real estate acquisition but could really use some mentorship and/or a real estate attorney (Colorado). Here are some specifics:

Purchase price: $955K

Seller Finance offer: 20% ($190K)

Reno cost: $90K 

Ideally we would like to do a Morby Method where we purchase the home via conventional mortgage or hard money lender and on the back end have the seller lend us the $190K with a second position lien on the property and a 5-year payback. Any help/advice/contacts is greatly appreciated. We could also go with a private money lender on the $190K - just need to find the person! The numbers and business plan more than adequately support the project numbers (can share privately).

    Some questions to clarify
    1. Is the seller is willing to finance 20%, or is he willing to finance 80% with 20% down?
    2. If seller is willing to finance 20%, is he willing to accept a subordinated lien or is he insisting on a first lien?

    3. Do you have any capital to contribute or are you looking to borrow 100% of the purchase and rehab?

    4. Do you have the property under an executed contract or is this just a verbal terms from the seller?

    5. Do you have other assets owned free and clear or with little debt that can be pledged as additional collateral?

    6. Do you have the credit score and credit capacity to qualify for conventional financing?

    7. Have you created pro forma financial statements that project profitability?

    8. Do you intend to manage the assisted  living yourself, do you intend to hire management, or do you intend to master lease to an established assisted living management company? 

    9. Do you or anyone on your “team” have experience in managing an assisted living property? 

    Once we have the answers to these questions we can provide realistic answers to your questions.  Glad to see your enthusiasm!
