Requesting Recommendations for Setting up a Seller Finance Deal
I am working with on a lead to purchase a for a 950 sq. ft - 2/1 Condo with seller financing. The current Owner, is a friend, who holds the property free and clear. They no longer live in the property and does not want the "inconvenience" of being a landlord. The property is currently costing the Owner $142/mo in property taxes and $350/mo on HOA fees. Total monthly outgoing costs is $492/mo.
The property has not been upgraded since 1980. It is livable however; needs a kitchen, bath and interior finish upgrades. The Owner is not motivated to perform the upgrades.
The Owner has a relative in long-term nursing care which is very expensive. I have recommended selling the property to me would solve quite a few issues for them including: eliminating the cost and labor to upgrade the property, reduce the stress of selling the property, and turn outgoing payments of approximately $492/mo into income of approximately $575/mo.
I would like to structure the deal that is fair my friend while still meeting my goal of owning the property with cashflow. I have ran the buy and hold analysis with the following information.
Other properties are currently selling for $120K. Fully upgrades units are listing for $135K .
I would like to offer 85K with 5% ($5000) down with a 3.5% interest rate for 15 years.
The following are my calculations from the Bigger Pockets Buy and Hold Calculator:
Monthly Income: $1,400.00
Monthly Expenses: $1,204.93
Monthly Cash Flow: $195.07
Pro Forma Cap Rate: 7.72%
NOI $9,268.00
Total Cash Needed $26,750.00
Cash on Cash ROI 8.75%
Purchase Cap Rate 10.90%
Purchase Price: $85,000.00
Purchase Closing Costs: $2,500.00
Estimated Repair Costs: $20,000.00
Total Cost of Project: $107,500.00
After Repair Value $120,000.00 (conservative)
Down Payment: $4,250.00
Loan Amount: $80,750.00
Loan Points: $0.00
Loan Fees: $0,00
Amortized Over: 15 years
Loan Interest Rate: 3.500%
Monthly P&I: $577.27
Do you think this is a good enough deal to purchase?
Do you think this is a fair deal for the Seller with Seller Financing?
Do you have any recommendations of formulating the deal?
I would greatly appreciate your insights and recommendations.
